[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 186790, member: 10263"] Ice has very little tensile strength. You can build caves inside of a large block of ice, but structures.. nah. Not something serious. If we are talking 1930s here.. Most likely reinforced concrete would be used. You could ship in the mix in large freighters along with steel rods. Trucks would haul the material out from the staging area. You'd need to assemble some cranes on site. Maybe it would be possible to use hot water jets or something to carve out the shapes in the ice and just use the ice itself as a mold for the cement, and then drive the rods in as it dries. Later you can clear out the interior of the space you built. Not really sure, exactly, since I am not a structural engineer, but I know enough strength of materials to know I wouldn't build anything substantially load-bearing with ice. [/QUOTE]
