Abstract
This paper presents the results of laboratory tests to determine the s trength and creep properties of spray ice at temperatures near the mel ting point. This information is needed for the design of spray ice isl ands in nearshore arctic delta regions where water temperatures are of ten warmer than -1 degrees C. The laboratory results are discussed and design strength and creep parameters used in the design of the Nipter k P-32 ice island in the Canadian Beaufort Sea are presented.
