Evaluation of Design Criterion of the Strategic Expeditionary Landing Field.

Abstract

This study concerns the relaxation of design criterion for the strategic expeditionary landing field. The design criterion are individually evaluated to determine underlying or governing principles. Each principle is then reviewed to determine the implied or hidden factors of safety. Criteria are then reviewed individually to determine the effects of relaxing that criterion. The evaluation is made to ensure the operational ability of the facility and the construction effort. The construction effort is evaluated for a given circumstance before and after the proposed criterion change. The scope of this work is only that of construction effects and construction effort. The effects on aircraft are not evaluated other than to ensure that the aircraft's performance abilities have not been exceeded.
