Description / Table of Contents:
Summary: The observation that newly frozen ice sheets, resulting from pools of -water freezing over,- support more than would be predicted by ordinary theory is assessed. A solution is presented for a circular plate on an elastic, sealed foundation. Graphical results are shown for supports at the circumference of the plate. Graphs to obtain moments in a circular plate on an elastic bearing surface, using a sealed or unsealed foundation, are compiled for fixed and simple supports. In reality the foundation may not be completely sealed, calling for discretion in selecting the actual moment. The ability of the refrozen ice sheet to support the extra load is explained by the fact that the water has been sealed between the surface and main sheet of ice and the volume occupied by the water cannot change.
