Abstract:

Increase in the demand for air travel safety has promoted the development of Ground Arrestor Systems (GAS). Currently, GAS has been deployed in many of the airports ; throughout America and is called as Engineered Material Arrestor System (EMAS). The present EMAS is designed to decelerate the speed of the aircraft in order to ; bring it to complete rest without any causalities and not causing much damage to the aircraft. But the present GAS that’s in use is considered expensive as well as labor ; intensive. Efforts are being made to develop a mixture that can be used as a replacement for the present material that is being used in GAS construction. The research ; program described in this thesis examined the behavior of ultra-lightweight concrete with variation of chemical admixtures. Different concrete mixtures were batched and ; tested for fresh and hardened properties to develop the ultra-lightweight concrete that can meet the requirements provided by FAA in advisory circular AC 150/5220-22A.
