Frost Investigations 1949-1950. Summary Tabulation of Airfield Pavements 1943-1949, at Air Force Installations Constructed on Frost Susceptible Subgrades

Abstract

The report presents a summary tabulation of the pertinent data on pavements, base courses, and subgrades and on traffic histories from twenty-five Air Force bases where the pavement design is effected by frost conditions. The gross plane load evaluations of the pavements during both the normal period, where there is no weakening due to frost melting, and during the frost melting period were determined. Results of pavement condition surveys made at fifteen of the airfields are tabulated and correlated with the pavement evaluations and traffic histories.
