“…More details about the size, structure, and preparation of the samples can be found in the paper by Glockner [3]. Based on the results of the tests carried out by Vasiliev and Gladkov [9], Table 4, it can be concluded that ice reinforced with fibreglass shows a significant increase both in compression and flexural strength, and a slight increase in dynamic elastic modulus. Ice with 4% fibreglass cloth has shown better properties in all categories than ice with 2% fibreglass net.…”

“…It was made in a traditional way by cutting bricklike elements out of snow or ice and stacking them together. Igloos are catenoid-shaped to avoid tensile stresses [9]. Thickness of igloo ice walls and details of the reinforcement could not be obtained from research publications.…”

“…Unlike igloos, no blocks were used but a thin-walled structure was created by spraying water on an inflatable formwork with a network of fibreglass yarn [3]. Since then, ice domes and similarly shaped structures have been made in the cryogenic environments around the globe, as a part of winter festivals and experimental projects, like pykrete dome [9], and Sagrada Familia [10], in Juuka, Finland, Candela pavilion in Ghent, Belgium [11], Flamenco Ice Tower, ice pavilion THRICE [12], and Koi-fish ice shell in Harbin, China [13], all made of ice reinforced with some type of cellulose fibres. In 2019 first restaurant made of paper-reinforced ice was built in Harbin, China [14].…”

“…Reinforced ice has been used in the form of cryogels to seal a leakage at the base of a dame at the Russian Irelyakh hydro system [16]. Reinforced ice as a sustainable and often fully recyclable building material could be used for all kinds of temporary constructions in cold areas, ice events, the Winter Olympics and even Mars missions [9].…”

The design of suitable thermophysical properties of reinforced ice as well as employing the novel material in feasible ways represent key aspects towards alternative building sustainability. In this overview research studies dealing with reinforced ice structures have been presented with an emphasis on construction parameters and reinforcement materials of the structures. The main focus of the study is directed to the identification of the main issues related to the construction of reinforced ice structures as well as the environmental and economic impact of such structures. Obtained research data shows that the compressive, tensile, and bending strength of reinforced ice can be increased up to 6 times compared to plain ice. The application of reinforcement materials decreases creep rate, enhances ductility, and reduces brittle behaviour of ice. Assessed reinforced ice structures were mainly found to be environmentally friendly and economically viable. However, in most of the analysed studies construction parameters and physical properties were not defined precisely. The conducted overview indicates the necessity for more comprehensive and more accurate data regarding reinforced ice construction, applied methods, and processes, and preparation of ice composites in general.

“…Several structures made of pykrete have been built in cryogenic environments in recent years. Noticeable examples are Pykrete dome, [4] and Sagrada Familia, [5], in Juuka, Finland, figure 1, as well as Candella pavilion in Ghent, Belgium, [6]. In Ice festival in Harbin, China Flamenco ice tower, Ice pavilion THRICE, [7], and KOI fish ice shell, [8], were presented.…”

Experimental investigation of the thermal properties of ice reinforced with sawdust is presented in this paper. Mechanical properties of pykrete are fairly covered in literature, while there are no data about its thermal properties. For the purposes of this examination, ice made of 215 ml of tap water was reinforced by adding 35 g of sawdust. Transient Plane Source (TPS) method was employed to measure the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity in a temperature range from -15 °C to -33 °C. Blocks of pykrete were placed in an expanded polystyrene (EPS) box in the freezer where the measurements took place. Thermal conductivity of pykrete was observed to vary from 1.64 Wm−1K−1 at -15 °C to 1.75 Wm−1K−1 at -33 °C while thermal diffusivity in the same temperature interval exhibited growth at a larger scale, from 0.88 mm2s−1 to 1.10 mm2s−1. Measured values showed an average decrease of approx. 21% in thermal conductivity and approx. 23% in thermal diffusivity when compared with results obtained for frozen pure tap water. Measured thermal constants were shown to be similar to the ones obtained in literature for concrete.
