Another thing they did test was the holding power of V-threads in ice.
In the first article (the waterfall one) they mention that a drilled v thread with side lengths of 15cm is sufficient, and better than natural v-threads, but they dont give more data on that.
However in the second article (the glacier ice one) they have more data on v-threads.
There they used different screw lengths to drill v-threads (as equilateral triangles) and measured the holding powers compared to the areas of the triangles
They say that these holding powers are a bit lower than expected, and suggest 16cm screws as the minimum length for the construction of v-threads
