North Field Test Report: Mat Instrumentation, Finite-Element Analysis, and Mat Anchoring System Reliability Study. Volume 2.

Abstract

As part of the USAF's program for developing systems and procedures to rapidly repair bomb-damaged runways, the Air force Engineering and Services Center conducted the North Field '87 Rapid Runway Test. This volume of the North Field '87 Test Report documents the design and installation of an instrumentation system to monitor mat response to F-15 and F-16 aircraft ground operations; data acquisition, processing, and reduction, finite-element modelling of the mat system; a comparison of predicted and actual mat response; and anchoring system reliability study. Keywords: Anchor bolts, Bolt loads, Bow waves, Rapid runway repair, Instrumentation, Mat strain, Shear stress, Strain gages, Fiberglass mats. (KR)
