AIR FORCE ARCTIC BUILDING

A prefabricated, panelized, 16- by 28-foot structure was designed and built for the U. S. Air Force by the Naval Civil Engineering Labora tory. The building, made of steel-faced honey combed-core panels with plywood edges, was de signed for use in the DEW System in the Arctic. The prototype was test...

S. Air Force by the Naval Civil Engineering Labora tory. The building, made of steel-faced honey combed-core panels with plywood edges, was de signed for use in the DEW System in the Arctic. The prototype was tested under a variety of controlled climatic conditions, including wind, rain, and snow. Tests included erection, heat loss, structural, and weathertightness, and packaging studies. The building has a low co efficient of heat transmission and can withstand a 125-mph wind load, a 100-psf snow load, and racking.
