It is the application of ice as a construction material and also has some limitation. Ice Is relatively weak material and shows an extreme creep behavior compared to conventional construction material. Mechanical properties of ice are strongly temperature-dependent and untimely protection is necessary even in coldest area. It has been found that the properties of ice and sea ice can be improved by reinforcement by forming these ice composites. The classification of the various methods of ice reinforcement is presented. In spite of many papers about ice composites have vary limited applications. An overview of all existing construction methods, which involve ice structure, is provided in the paper. At the present time only two types of ice composites such as pykrete, ice reinforcement, have been applied successfully in engineering of structure in various projects. Brief information about these projects are presented. The description of the projects or the ‘Pykrete Dome’ is expanded. The world largest pykrete dome is constructed in Finland. In 2st world war pykrete proposed it as a candidate material as a supersized aircraft carrier. Pykrete features unusual properties, including a relatively slow melting rate due to its low thermal conductivity, as well as a vastly improved strength and toughness compared to ice. These physical properties can make the material comparable to concrete, as long as the material is kept frozen. Pykrete is slightly more difficult to form than concrete, as it expands during the freezing process. However, it can be repaired and maintained using sea water as a raw material. The mixture can be molded into any shape and frozen, and it will be tough and durable, as long as it is kept at or below freezing temperature. Resistance to gradual creep or sagging is improved by lowering the temperature.
