Ice jacking Ice jacking occurs when water invades a confined space in a structural support, or geologic formation, and upon freezing causes structural fracture as the ice expands. The phenomenon has been blamed for the failure of a ski gondola lift in the Canadian ski resort of Whistler, B.C.〔(Whistler reopens as officials blame ice damage for collapsed tower )〕 == Geologic engineering == Rock slope failures can occur due to the presence of water; ice jacking occurs when water between joint or fissure surfaces freezes and expands. This type of failure is progressive, resulting in incremental weakening over time, often requiring several cycles before failure.〔Xanthakos, Petros P.; Abramson, Lee W.; Bruce, Donald A. Ground Control and Improvement. (pp. 737). John Wiley & Sons.〕 This is one form of rock erosion.
