Publisher's Synopsis
This publication provides introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in construction of airfields in snow and ice where conventional airfield runways (i.e. concrete, gravel) cannot be constructed. This situation occurs primarily in the Antarctic. Here is what is discussed: 1. DIMENSIONAL CRITERIA, 2. SNOW/ICE SURFACE CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE, AND STRUCTURAL EVALUATION CRITERIA, 3. AIRFIELD MARKINGS.
