In the austral winter of 1979-80, a German Antarctic expedition was sent by ship to the Filchner and Ronne ice shelves in order to find a suitable site for the establishment of a permanent Antarctic station. During this expedition, investigations were carried out on sea ice in the Weddell Sea in order to evaluate the accessibility of the site for icebreaking ships which are intended to convey construction materials to the site and, later on, to supply the station annually.This paper covers the results of investigations on sea-ice conditions during the voyage along the ice shelves from Cape Fiske (at the base of the Antarctic Peninsula) to Atka Bay with emphasis on sea-ice conditions in the area about 100 km north-west of Berkner Island (Fig.1.). In addition to the drift conditions (speed, direction), a special feature of multi-year sea ice is described. The main part of the paper deals with mechanical properties such as flexural strength, uniaxial compressive strength and Young’s modulus of columnar-grained sea ice from the southern border of the Weddell Sea. Salinities and temperatures were measured over the depth of the ice and used for calculating the flexural strength and the Young’s modulus of the ice. The uniaxial compressive strength was investigated as a function of strain-rate, brine volume and temperature on a closed-loop testing machine on samples which were carried back from Antarctica to Hamburg.

Basalt was used as an ornamental stone in any historic and ancient cities in Jordan. Measuring the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and the tangent Young’s modulus (Et) in the laboratory requires premium quality specimens with special core dimensions. This research focuses on correlations both UCS and Et with Leeb Rebound Hardness Test (LRH). In the laboratory, UCS, Et, and LRH were performed on 90 core samples extracted from 30 different rock boulders collected from the neighboring area of Umm al-Jimal, a historic city in northeastern Jordan. A strong power correlation with (R2 = 0.888, RMSE = 5.464) was found between non-destructive LRH value and UCS. On the other hand, a moderately strong linear regression with (R2 = 0.792, RMSE = 4.661) was found between Et and LRH. In conclusion, non-destructive LRHs can be used as indictors for evaluating both UCS and Et during the restoration of the historic city Umm al-Jimal and the rehabilitation of other existing structures.
