SNOW STABILIZATION FOR ROADS AND RUNWAYS
A stdy of methods of stabilizing snow for roads and runways was conducted on the Greenland Ice Cap during the summer of 1959. Ten test lanes were constructed to determine the effect of various machine speeds, cutting, and compaction techniques; 7 lanes were dry-processes, 3 lanes dry- and heat-proce...
