Abstract
A test series has been carried out to investigate the load and deformation behaviour of thin freshwater ice sheets loaded to ultimate failure in a buckling-type failure mode. The tests were conducted with loading rates giving failure times of less than one-half second. Considerable microcracking was observed in the ice thickness, were measured at failure. The load and ice deformation profile are given for twelve different buckling events.
