    • Experiments on ice load reductions on dams 

      Petrich, Chris; Sæther, Irina Vasiljeva; Arntsen, Bård (Chapter, 2024)
      Static ice loads are a significant aspect of the design of hydropower dams in Norway due to their low height. Results are presented from a preliminary study to investigate whether elastic foam could be used to reduce static ...

    • Ice load measurements on Rätan concrete dam using different sensor types 

      Hellgren, Rikard; Petrich, Chris; Arntsen, Bård; Malm, Richard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Concrete dams in cold regions are designed to withstand loads from the ice sheet on top of the reservoir.However, the ice load's magnitude and return period are among the most considerable uncertainties in safety assessments ...
