| Abstract | In March 2021, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) conducted a series of ice trials with the Great Lakes Icebreaker (GLIB) Mackinaw (WLBB-30) in the Green Bay area south of Chambers Island in Lake Michigan. As part of the trials, USCG required a detailed analysis of ice strength properties in order to gain a better understanding of the impacts of ice conditions upon the cutter's equipment and performance. They approached the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in St. John's, Canada to perform that work. This paper documents the results of this analysis. A description of the sample blocks gathered from the field, field conditions and ice specimen preparation for mechanical testing are described. The ice mechanical testing in relation with the internal structure, as observed in thin sections, is detailed with the important findings highlighted. |
