Book Description
The report describes a study conducted to develop CBR design curves for an aluminum landing mat. The design curves were to represent 1600 operational cycles of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single- wheel main gear assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. CBR design curves were also desired for 1600 passes of a 39,000-lb single- wheel load applied in a single track to represent the calculated loading imposed on the landing mat during launching of the 60,000-lb aircraft by catapult.

Book Description
This investigation was conducted to determine the optimum panel size for the AM2 mat fabricated by Harvey Aluminum Company, Torrance, Calif. The basic AM2 mat was designed to sustain 1600 operational cycles of an aircraft having a gross weight of 60,000 lb with a single-wheel main-gear-assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. A test section consisting of three items with different subgrade strengths and surfaced with three different size mat panels was constructed and subjected to 188 coverages (equivalent to 1600 cycles of aircraft operations) of accelerated traffic of a 27,000-lb single-wheel load with a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 pri. The mat was also tested for its ability to sustain 1600 passes of a 39,000-lb single-wheel load applied in a single track to represent the calculated loading that would be imposed on a landing mat during launching of a 60,000-lb aircraft by catapult.

Book Description
The objectives of the investigation reported herein were to: (a) Evaluate the performance of the Washington AM2 mat under accelerated traffic tests with the wheel loadings contemplated under the SATS concept. (b) Compare the performance of the Washington mat with that of the original experimental AM2 mat designed and fabricated by Harvey. (c) Compare the quality of the extrusions furnished to Washington by Alcoa and Dow Chemical Co.

Book Description
The study was conducted to compare the performance of aluminum landing mat fabricated by Butler Manufacturing Co. The primary method of comparison was by using CBR design curves which were developed to represent 1600 operational cycles of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single-wheel, main-gear assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30-7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi. CBR design curves were also developed for 1600 passes of a 39,000-lb single-wheel load applied in a single track to represent the calculated loading imposed on the landing mat during launching of the 60,000-lb aircraft by catapult.

Pages : 90
Book Description
The investigation was conducted to evaluate three-piece AM2 landing mat. The mat was fabricated from three 8-in.-wide extrusions welded together to form a 2-ft-wide plank. A test section consisting of one sand item and three clay subgrade items with various CBR strength values was constructed and surfaced with the three-piece mat. The test section was subjected to uniform-coverage and single-line traffic representing operations of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single-wheel main gear assembly load of 27,000 lb with a 30.7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi.

Book Description
The initial phase of the study was conducted to evaluate four experimental, aluminum landing mats, and to develop CBR design curves for the one selected as most satisfactory, which was standardized and designated by the Navy as Airfield Matting No. 1 (AM1). For the second phase of the study, a production quantity of the AM1 mat was manufactured and subjected to the same types of field tests used for the experimental mats on subgrades with CBR's ranging from about 5 to 16.
Evaluation of Guide Rail in Conjunction with Kaiser and Harvey Landing Mat (AM2)

Book Description
The investigation was conducted to evaluate the performance, under simulated aircraft loadings, of a guide rail (for use in assisted take-offs) designed for use with Airfield Matting No. 2 (AM2), Kaiser Aluminum Company's AM2 when used in conjunction with guide rail and when used without guide rail, and modified AM2 from Harvey Aluminum, Inc., when used in conjunction with guide rail. It was specifically desired to determine the effect that subgrade strength and soil type would have on the performance of the guide rail and AM2. (Author).
