ADVANCED MODULAR SHELTERS FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZE SHELTER APPLICATIONS

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0709218 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Lightweight, 100 recoverable expandable shelters for high mobility applications are described. The small shelter concepts described utilize lightweight thin sandwich construction foamboard in unique folding applications. Geometry details, manufacturing difficulties, erection procedures, and testing are discussed for the concept selected for development. Ultimate practical span for foamboard constructions are discussed. Also included is a section devoted to basic research on development or more durable and stronger foamboard composites to be utilized on the designs generated.
