Prefabricated Expandable Foam/Wood Structures for Theater of Operations.

Abstract

This report, one of a series covering development of multipurpose structural components, documents the results of field experiments of several field-fabricated structural components using polyurethane spray-applied foam as a structural and insulative material in combination with wood. The components were evaluated from the standpoints of ease of fabrication, transportability, assembly and erection, relocatability, and expandability. A set of structural components that had potential military application in providing a wide range of temporary facilities for use in the theater of operations was selected. (Author)
