Abstract
This paper deals with the bearing capacity of sea ice covers taking into consideration the nonhomogeneity of the material, which is primarily due to variations in temperature and salinity across the thickness. The study is limited to the evaluation of short-term loads that would cause cracking in the ice cover. The general method for evaluation of such loads is fully developed and simplified formulae are proposed for a given surface temperature and ice thickness. Key words: bearing capacity, sea ice.
