Investigation of Snow Compaction Methods and Equipment Conducted for Engineer Research and Development Laboratories, Fiscal Year 1949. Report of Investigations.
Field tests were performed with both full scale and scale model equipment. Full scale tests were performed to measure effectiveness of various types of compaction and steam injection apparatus and to examine the effect of repeated breaking up and recompaction of the snow. Scale model pontons were us...
