Abstract
In order to interpret reliably the results of model tests which involve compressive (crushing) failures, the compressive strength of the model ice must be known. In this paper, the uniaxial and plane-strain compressive strengths of carbamide (urea) model ice are documented for scale factors of 40>λ>5. In addition, the influences of stress and strain-rates, platen materials and direction of loading are discussed. The results of the tests are interpreted in terms of the structure of the ice.
