The bearing capacity of reinforced ice beams exposed to simple bending under successively increasing loading has been studied in a series of laboratory experiments and by numerical modeling. The physical experiments are performed using a specially designed installation, with A400 steel reinforcement, 6 mm in diameter. The simulation is run in the ANSYS software for reinforcement with different composite materials in order to assess their efficiency qualitatively and quantitatively. The physical and numerical modeling results agree to a satisfactory accuracy.
