This book was released on 1975 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes geologic and terrain information pertinent to the conduct of materiel testing at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground. Surface features are described in two categories -- Bedrock Mountains and Alluvial Lowlands. Only the Alluvial Lowlands are extensively and continuously used in testing; they, therefore, are treated in greater detail as differing in grain sizes of materials and relative degrees of surface dissection. The distribution of surficial materials, based on mapping at a scale of 1:62,500, is generalized at a scale of 1:500,000 for this summary. The mapping program and related activities provide a basis for improvement of field environmental testing, particularly in relation to ground-vehicle mobility, surface transportability, and vulnerability to detection.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distribution and slope gradients of surficial materials in the Laguna (Ariz-Calif) 1:62,500-scale quadrangle were mapped in the field for engineering evaluation of vehicle testing suitability and for comparison of Yuma Proving Ground terrain with that of other world deserts. Occurrence and topographic expressions of seven alluvial and six bedrock mapping units are shown as an overprint on the topographic map. Cumulative frequency curves of slope and relief describe these factors of alluvial terrain quantitatively. Actual field measurements of 30,000 feet of traverse are included to permit interpretation for specific materiel evaluations. (Author).

This book was released on 1977 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yuma Proving Ground was visited to conduct a survey of the relative hardness of selected impact areas to establish the most suitable sites for a survivability test as part of DT II testing of 155mm XM718/741 Remote Anti-Armor Mine System (RAAMS). Soil/terrain data were collected at Z, R, Cain, and Adam Fields located along the north side of Poleline Road. Z and R Fields were located on nearly level, moderately dissected gravelly piedmont which had recently been graded and compacted to achieve a high strength within the compacted layer. Cain Field is located on a wash. The area is undulating and bare. Adam Field is located on predominantly gravelly undissected piedmont with some wash areas. The area is undulating and the brush vegetation was removed. The surface materials at the four impact areas visited are predominantly coarse-grained soils with some areas having large amounts of gravel and caliche. The soil was slightly moist and firm when sampled. The cone index ranged from 300 to 500 in the 0- to 6-in. layer, and the dynamic cone penetrometer blows per foot for the surface 12 in. ranged from 17 to 34. A comparison of calculated peak rigid body deceleration-impact velocity relation for selected surface materials revealed that the magnitude of the rigid body g forces that the RAAM can experience upon impact with various earth materials varies considerably.

Download or read book Arid Zone Geomorphology written by David S. G. Thomas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of Arid Zone Geomorphology aims to encapsulate the advances that have been made in recent years in the investigation and explanation of landforms and geomorphological processes in drylands. Building on the success of the previous two editions, the Third Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in the field. Whilst this latest edition will remain a comprehensive reference to the subject, the book has been restructured to include regional case studies throughout to enhance student understanding and is clearly defined into five distinct sections; Firstly, the book introduces the reader to Large Scale Controls and Variability in Drylands and then moves on to consider Surface Processes and Characteristics; The Work of Water, The Work of the Wind. The book concludes with a section on Living with Dryland Geomorphology that includes a chapter on geomorphological hazards and the human impact on these environments. Once again, recognised world experts in the field have been invited to contribute chapters in order to present a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of current knowledge about the processes shaping the landscape of deserts and arid regions. In order to broaden the appeal of the Third Edition, the book has been reduced in extent by 100 pages and the Regional chapters have been omitted in favour of the inclusion of key regional case studies throughout the book. The Editor is also considering the inclusion of a supplementary website that could include further images, problems and case studies.
