Membrane-Enveloped Soil Layers as Base Courses for Airfields,

Abstract

The manual provides information and guidance for the design, construction, and maintenance of membrane-enveloped soil layers (MESL) as base courses on airfields in the theater of operations (TO). In the absence of conventional base course materials, an adequate runway base can be built from purely fine-grained soils using the techniques of MESL-type construction described herein. (Author)
