The Russian civil engineering operations would be a good place to start. I
expect there were some calculations, which may still be available.
Various blasts were conducted, providing real world case studies.

Andrew,
At this point we are looking for actual geomechanical analysis with numbers.
Piling speculation upon speculation is not helpful.

Large explosive charges, tens or hundreds of metres beneath the sea bed,
would create a crater with an elevated ring of debris. This ring would tend
to jam ice in an otherwise smooth sea bed, if it was tall enough to
protrude into the surface waters.
I understand that the Russians had a
