A1 mx 1 m (square) vertical pier supports a bridge over an Alaskan river. Determine the force (loading) on the pier by a 10 m x 10 m ice floe that is 1 m thick, and carried by the river. Assume an ice crushing strength of 2.1 MPa and an ice flexural strength of 1.7 MPa. Provide the force or loading in MN units. A1 mx 1 m (square) vertical pier supports a bridge over an Alaskan river.
