Abstract
The authors present the results of studies carried out in the laboratory “Ice tank” of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Krylov State Research Centre”, related to the study of the ice effect on extended hydraulic constructions with a vertical wall. They analyze the possibilities of applying the method of physical modeling to investigate the processes of ice-construction interaction in ice tank. The results make it possible to recommend the method of physical modeling as one of the main approaches for studying the interaction specifics of hydraulic constructions with ice. The data of the model experiment can help to construct mathematical models of ongoing processes, as well as to clarify the requirements of regulatory documents.
