AAR /13/033 Low-Strength SG Rework

AAR /13/034 Design Methodology u LEDFAA with 2-layer subgrade. u Vary Poisson’s Ratio with subgrade strength: u Poisson’s Ratio = 0.82 – 0.1 * (logE SG /145). u Improve behavior of failure model at low departure levels: u log  v = – – log C F (Super-Heavy Aircraft Study).

AAR /13/035 Design Conditions u Reworked subgrade CBR = 3 u Existing subgrade CBR = 5.5 u Wheel load = 55,000 lbs u Dual spacing = 54 inches (4- and 6-wheel) u Tandem spacing = 57 inches (4- and 6- wheel)
