Bomb Crater Repair Techniques for Permanent Airfields. Report 2. Series 2 and 3 Tests.
Abstract
This study is a continuation of Report 1 of this series that described Series 1 tests which were performed using different field methods of repair and restoration of bomb craters. Results from Series 1 tests showed problem areas that needed correction when the crater repairs were trafficked with full-scale loading. Two series, Series 2 and 3, of tests were run to determine if (a) the loose stone problem at the surface could be eliminated from the well-graded crushed limestone, (b) materials could be used that would neither be affected by the weather nor require any compaction equipment, (c) a crushed aggregate that engineering troops in Germany were trying to use could be stabilized under traffic, (d) a way could be found to place grout with a minimum of equipment (e) it was possible to cut down on portland cement concrete curing time, and (f) an unconventional pavement repair could be used. Testing consisted of accelerated traffic using either single- and/or multiple-wheel gear assemblies. (Author)
