vestigations on the behaviour of the ice composite shell under multiple load conditions are conducted.
Subsequently, some key technologies for the construction process and health monitoring of the ice composite
shell are discussed. The results show that the ice composite material is suitable for the construction of large-span
ice shells. The morphological design objectives of the free-form ice shell are achieved based on the previously
mentioned optimization algorithm, and the structural analysis provides a theoretical foundation for the struc-
tural safety and construction quality of the ice shell. Moreover, the effects of the ambient temperature and solar
radiation are not negligible, and further research is required.

mean values of the ice composite test data are taken as the mechanical
parameters for the structural analysis (Table 2). In addition, the coef-
ficient of the linear expansion of the ice composite is consistent with
that of plain ice for the lack of experimental research. The tensile
strength of plain ice is 0.1 MPa according to the Chinese standard code
GB 51202-2016, the tensile strength of the employed ice composite is
10 times that of plain ice. Further, the compressive strength (5.0 MPa)
is 43% higher than that of plain ice (3.5 MPa). Thus, the incorporation
of composite fibers greatly enhances the mechanical properties of the
plain ice.
Only the dead load of the ice shell is considered in the traditional
structural analysis method [26,33], and little is known about the
structural performance of ice shells under multiple load conditions. The
loads acting on the ice composite shell in this study mainly include the
dead, wind, snow, and thermal loads. By referring to the Chinese
technical standard for ice and snow landscape buildings (GB

buildings, the dynamic effects of ice structures are not considered. The

According to the previously presented calculation results for the ice
shell structure, it can be concluded that the maximal deformation and
maximal stress of the ice composite shell are greatly influenced by
geometric imperfections. Thus, the construction error should be con-
trolled during the ice shell construction. Regarding the ice shell men-
tioned in this paper, the construction errors should be maintained
within 1/300 to satisfy structural security.
