Structural design of a lattice pykrete tower

Pykrete is a material used for temporary structures in cold environments. In the last decade, this has generally been shell that were constructed using inflatable fabric formwork and ropes. Recently, research carried out to use pykrete made of linear elements some low heights have able be built. A tower-like structure was built 2019 International Ice Snow Innovation Design Construction competition, based on proposal by Eindhoven University Technology. This raised 11 m, making it tallest with so far. paper describes base concepts, design process, testing methodology building methods tower.
