Combined all findings of the entire project and recommend design ice loads for future marine structures and initiated the development of an EUROCODE for ice forces.
 

Description

The Advisory Committee, which included representatives of Governmental authorities of the EU countries, European classification societies, European Oil Companies and at least one representative from Russia contribute to the validation of the research results and participate in the formulation of final recommendations. The results of the research project including the recommendations, were presented to users from industry and science at a special workshop. This workshop was organised by the LOLEIF Consortium at the end of the project. Further, recommendations on ice forces on vertical structures could be the basis for a new EUROCODE on Ice Forces.
 

Deliverables

At the end of the project the recommendations on ice forces on vertical structures as agreed upon by the LOLEIF Participants and the Advisory Committee were compiled into a detailed consensus report. This report is kept proprietary to the participants for two years. A more general final report on the project will be published as a Special Report of the IAHR's Ice Committee.
 

Interdependence

All partners within the project co-operated on the recommendations under the leadership of the project co-ordinator.
