The proper evaluation of ice load on offshore structure in ice-infested area makes it possible to construct the structure. It is the key to clarify that the scale effect, that indentation ice pressure decreases as an area of structure with ice sheet increases, is caused by the nonsimultaneous failure of ice sheet. Medium scale field indentation tests (MSFIT) in JOIA project had been conducted to evaluate the ice load since 1996 winter, using natural sea ice in Lake Notoro. This paper shows the results of ice indentation tests conducted in 1997 winter.
