AM-2 Base Course Requirements on Debris Subgrades.

Abstract

Existing data were used to examine the types of soils and their thicknesses that can be used as a select fill base course with AM-2 in the existing airfield bomb damage repair procedures. Dense graded, cohesionless crushed aggregate is the preferred material for the select fill base course. Sand and naturally occurring well-graded gravels are suitable alternatives. Thickness of the base course will vary from 12 to 24 inches depending on the back-fill soil type and moisture content. (Author)
