Many situations arise where ice fragments of varying size separate sea ice floes. While the shear forces between sea ice floes in direct contact with each other are controlled by ice-ice friction, what is not known is how the slip of the floes is affected by the presence of rubble between the sliding surfaces. We present the result of field experiments undertaken on sea ice in the Barents Sea. A doubledirect-shear experiment was done on floating sea ice in the field, with the addition of rubble ice between the sliding surfaces. This was achieved by pulling a floating ice block through a cut channel of open water 3m long, where broken ice filled the gap between the block and the channel sides. The displacement of the block and the force needed to move the block were measured. The time that the block was held motionless to allow the rubble to consolidate was recorded - this ranged from seconds to several hours. We found that the 'hold time' controls the maximum force needed to move the block. The relation between hold time and force is highly non-linear from which we deduce thermal consolidation is the controlling mechanism. date: 2015-06-14 date_type: published publisher: Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions (POAC) official_url: http://www.ntnu.edu/poac15 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1137863 lyricists_name: Sammonds, Peter lyricists_id: PRSAM22 actors_name: Sammonds, Peter actors_id: PRSAM22 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions publication: Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions volume: 23 place_of_pub: Trondheim, Norway event_title: 23rd International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions event_location: Trondheim, Norway event_dates: 14 June 2015 - 18 June 2015 institution: Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions book_title: Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions citation: Scourfield, S; Sammonds, P; Lishman, B; Marchenko, A; (2015) The effect of ice rubble on ice-ice sliding.
