Abstract: The C-17 Globemaster III aircraft was developed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) with the capability of transporting equipment and cargo to small airfields with short runways and minimal ground support equipment. The ...

Abstract: To determine the impact of C-17 aircraft on unsurfaced airfields, the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station was asked to construct full-scale pavement section items and traffic them to failure with a fully loaded ...

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to identify and quantify the effect of numerous variables on the performance of fiber-stabilized sand specimens. Laboratory unconfined compression tests were conducted on sand specimens ...

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to verify the results of an extensive laboratory experiment conducted to determine the effects of numerous variables on the performance of fiber-stabilized sand specimens. Laboratory ...

Abstract: The mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (M-EPDG) recommends the use of resilient modulus (MR) for characterization of subgrade soils. Subgrade soils may not always have enough strength and stiffness to support the ...

Abstract: An evaluation of commercial and experimental dust palliatives was conducted to determine their effectiveness for mitigating fugitive dust on roads in arid climates. Several types of chemicals were tested including polymer ...

Abstract: A full-scale airfield pavement section was constructed and trafficked by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to evaluate the performance of geogrid reinforced flexible airfield pavement structures ...

Abstract: High-quality coarse aggregates are routinely used for the surface, base, and subbase layers in paved roads or the surface course in unpaved low-volume roads. Unfortunately, high-quality aggregates meeting stringent material ...
