Short- and Long-Time Deflections of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs

Description: Summary: "This report summarizes the results of a field investigation to determine the short- and long-time deflections and concrete strains in an Army barracks flat-plate structure at Fort Hood, Killeen, Texas. Due to the rather great slab thickness of 9 in., corresponding to an L/T ratio of approximately 28, all observed deflections were small and in no instance exceeded 0.022 ft, or about 1/800 of the shorter span, during the 45-month observation period, in spite of an early temporary constr… more

An Analytical Model for Predicting Cross-Country Vehicle Performance, Appendix D: Performance of Amphibious Vehicles in the Water-Land Interface (Hydrologic Geometry)

Description: Summary: "Forty tests were conducted with two amphibious tracked vehicles and one amphibious wheeled vehicle at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., and near Khon Kaen, Thailand, to determine the vehicles' capabilities for exiting closed bodies of water. Empirical relations, based on the data collected in this study and in previous studies, are presented to support the conclusions that performance of amphibious tracked and wheeled vehicles (in terms of "go-no go") in the water-land interface can be corr… more
