When fully loaded, the B-29 Superfortress has a gross weight of approximately 120,000 lb, which is carried on dual wheel landing gear. When this plane was first introduced, the CBR method of design did not contain flexible pavement design criteria for dual wheel loads. Therefore, the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, was requested by Headquarters, Army Air Forces, to study the problem and to formulate design criteria. The Office of the Chief of Engineers, through the Engineer Board, directed the Waterways Experiment Station to design, construct, and conduct tests at Marietta on a test section composed of flexible pavements on various types of bases.
