A study on ice loads under ice-structure interactions started in 1993 as a Japan Ocean Industries Association (JOIA) project. Medium Scale Field Indentation Tests (MSFIT) was conducted inwinters in 1996 and 1997, which include ice indentation tests, tests on physical properties ofice sheetand measurements ofice sheet deformation.
The paper describes the results of measurements of ice sheet strain using strain gages and theestimation of the strain range under ice -structure interactions obtained at a winter test in 1997.
