The interaction of ice sheets with rigid vertical structures is an important problem in the design of arctic offshore strutures. These structures often experience an enormous ice load since the ice sheet fails by crushing. The finite element method is adopted to calculate ice forces on vertical structures of various shapes. To verify the applicability of the proposed constitutive models, the numerical results obtained during the present study are compared with data from field measurements.
