Summary:The report presents a summary of the data and results obtained from the beginning of the investigation. It includes results of tests at Northway Airfield, Eielson Air Force Base, Ladd Air Force Base, Alaska, and at the Fairbanks Research Area near Fairbanks, Alaska; data on construction equipment and methods; data collected at Alaskan weather stations; laboratory research on tests of thermal properties of soils and insulating materials; interpretation of frozen and unfrozen ground conditions from aerial photographs; library research; geophysical exploration methods; theoretical studies; and field tests of model structures. A map of Alaska indicating points at which investigations were made, as well as other points, is shown Plate 1. See also Appendix 1, AD703363. Also available as PB-162 796.
