EVALUATION OF EXPERIMENTAL POLYURETHANE-COATED MEMBRANES

This report describes an investigation conducted for the development of an improved flexible prefabricated membrane surfacing suitable as an expedient dustproofing and waterproofing medium for soil subgrades used as forward-area airfields and road surfacings. This was accomplished by means of: laboratory tests of PUC membranes, adhesives, and nonskid compounds to determine physical properties, and skid tests simulating C-130 braking action on nonskidcoated PUC membranes placed on a soil subgrade to determine skid resistance and durability.
