The paper is concerned with the problem of creep buckling of a floating ice plate pressin against a rigid, vertical-walled, engineering structure of a finite lenght. The plate is modelled as a truncated wedge of a semi-infinite length and constant thickness, resting on a liquid base and subjected to transverse bending due to the elastic reation of the base and in-plane axial compression due to wind and water drag forces. The ice is treated as a viscous materail, with the viscosity varying with the depth of the ice cover. The results of numerical calculations, carried out by the finite element method, show the evolution of creep buckles in the plate, and also ilustrate the behaviour of the ice cover at different levels of the in-plane axial loading, at different temperatures across the ice, and for different geometries of he wedge-shaped plate.
