Broken Ice, Pressure Ridges and Ice Rubble

“…For widely spaced legs, the leg factor can approach 1. In a study reported by Wang et al [44], based on model tests, the leg factor had a mean value of 0.71 and a standard deviation of 0.08. In this example a value of 0.7 will be used for four legs, 0.9 for three legs and 1 for two legs.…”
