Overview

The objective of this project is to perform structural strength, vehicle crossing, and fatigue testing of a dry gap commercial system and assess the system capability against LOCB requirements. Data collected during structural strength, vehicle crossing, and fatigue testing will be used to assess the technical feasibility and military utility of commercial systems and their ability to meet the 36,000 normal crossings requirement at increased MLC loads (e.g. HETS and Abrams).
