Laboratory and engineering traffic tests were conducted to determine various properties of mat in overall evaluation for comparison with original T12 mat and with technical specifications; service-life criteria under which mat was tested required 200 coverages of 25,000-lb single-wheel load with tire-inflation pressure of 250 psi when placed on subgrade with California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of 4; this was more critical than original criteria under which T12 was tested; future plastic landing mat should incorporate improvements to reduce weight, provide stronger means of connecting individual panels, and improve core-to-facing.
