• ERDC and the 109th Airlift Wing team up for aviation first

    ERDC's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) has performed decades of research and fieldwork establishing that 55 inches of ice is the thickness required to land an LC-130 (a ski-equipped version of the C-130) for both saltwater ice and freshwater ice. Researchers have long thought that a landing on freshwater ice could be done on much less thick of ice.

  • Preliminary Study for Rapid Ground Stabilization

    Abstract: The Army has a need to rapidly repair heavily damaged low-volume roads. This report describes the literature review, laboratory study, and preliminary technology evaluation for potential rapid road rehabilitation materials and equipment. The objective was to identify and evaluate equipment, materials, and techniques for rapid road repair. This phase of the study focuses on rapid stabilizers that, when added to native soil, could improve bearing capacity. Lightweight equipment and attachments were assessed for their ability to effectively excavate and place geomaterials. Several commercial soil stabilizers were identified that could meet strength requirements. Equipment attachments for a compact track loader were deemed most suitable for executing rapid repairs.
