Evaluation of Dow Chemical Extruded Truss-Web Landing Mat

摘要

The investigation reported herein was conducted to evaluate 2- by 24-ft truss-web aluminum alloy extrusions without end connectors and truss-web aluminum alloy heavy-duty landing mats. The investigation of the mat consisted of engineering traffic tests; skid tests; determination of the effects of cable roll-over, hook impact, jet exhaust blast, and temperature impingement; and laboratory strength tests. The tests were designed to evaluate the service life and performance of the truss-web heavy-duty mat in accordance with the Qualitative Materiel Requirement.
