RAPID REPAIR OF BOMB DAMAGED RUNWAYS BY UNIQUE CHEMICAL MEANS.
Abstract
A study was made of chemical quick setting materials to evaluate the performance of the promising compositions for repair of a bomb damaged runway. A single wheel rolling test trailer was fabricated to test surfacing material and sub-base construction. A three (3) inch layer of wire reinforced polyester bonded rock was tested sucessfully on a 10 x 10 foot site at Eglin Air Force Base with a 28,000 pound load supported by an aircraft wheel 31 x 11:50, 272 psi tire. Special equipment to make full scale applications in the minimum time will be required. Polyester resins appear to show the most promise because of the greater latitude in curing condition. (Author)
