Bearing capacity of processed snow was studied under static loading tests in specially constructed bins and under simulated traffic conditions on 300-ft snow runways; tests included several plate bearing and wheel loading tests; vertical and lateral deformation values given; runway tests were performed with aircraft wheel at 2 different tire pressures, with wheel loads up to 35,000 lb; ram hardness, unconfined compression and California Bearing Ratio field tests were also made and evaluated in light of subsequent performance of snow pavement.
