Purpose In oil/gas exploitations of ice-covered cold regions, conical offshore structures are designed to reduce ice force and to avoid the ice-induced intense vibrations of vertical structures. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interaction between ice cover and conical offshore structures, the discrete element method (DEM) is introduced to determine the dynamic ice loads under different structure parameters and ice conditions.
