ABSTRACT:
A system for preventing a surface ice sheet from cracking and failing under a load based upon the principle of counteracting lateral tension forces in the lower portion of the ice sheet. A matrix of cables is placed on the bottom surface of the ice, and the ends of the cables are anchored on the top surface of the ice. As new ice forms, the matrix becomes embedded in the ice sheet and reinforces it in tension.
