BDR Tensile Structure Concept Feasibility Study.

Abstract

This report discusses the feasibility of using a thin-sheet membrane as a bridge across a bomb crater in a runway. The first step of the study was to determine the tension in a membrane required to support an F-4E load. Given the tension forces, membrane thickness was determined. The next step was to determine a feasible system for anchoring a membrane to pavement surrounding the crater. The final part of the study was discussion on membrane fabrication, handling, and installation procedures. (Author)
