Evaluation of Three-Piece AM2 Aluminum Landing Mat

Abstract

The investigation was conducted to evaluate three-piece AM2 landing mat. The mat was fabricated from three 8-in.-wide extrusions welded together to form a 2-ft-wide plank. A test section consisting of one sand item and three clay subgrade items with various CBR strength values was constructed and surfaced with the three-piece mat. The test section was subjected to uniform- coverage and single-line traffic representing operations of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single-wheel main gear assembly load of 27,000 lb with a 30.7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi.
