Abstract
Vehicle arresting blocks of cellular concrete (70) are usable to safely slow travel of an object and may be used to construct an aircraft arresting bed at the end of an airport runway. For such purposes, cellular concrete blocks (70) must be fabricated to exhibit compressive gradient strengths of predetermined values to provide sufficient, but not excessive, deceleration forces on an object. Material uniformity characteristics must be met to avoid unacceptable drag force variations, so that arresting blocks desirably exhibit a predetermined compressive gradient strength (e.g., a 60/80 CGS) over a depth of penetration of 10 to 66 percent of block thickness (Fig. 7). A 60/80 CGS will typically represent an average compressive strength of 70 pounds per square inch over such depth of penetration. Prior applications of cellular concrete typically involved meeting minimum strength values and the production methods did not meet uniformity or compressive gradient strength predictability as required for arresting blocks. Described methods include parameter, ingredient and process controls and ranges effective to enable fabrication of arresting blocks having dry densities and compressive gradient strengths which can be specified in order to provide limited deceleration of aircraft and other objects. Limited deceleration can avoid destructive effects inherent in excess rates of deceleration.
Claims

A vehicle arresting unit, comprising: a three-dimensional block of cellular concrete having a combination of thickness and compressive gradient strength over a depth of penetration effective to provide limited deceleration of a vehicle wheel, said block comprising cellular concrete having a dry density in a range from 12 to 22 pcf.
2. A vehicle arresting unit as in claim 1, wherein said three-dimensional block is formed from a combination including: a slurry of water and cement; a foam prepared from water and a foaming agent; and a curing form arranged to provide three-dimensional support with controlled evaporation for a mixture of said slurry and said foam during a curing period.
3. A vehicle arresting unit as in claim 1 or 2, wherein said three- dimensional block has a 60/80 compressive gradient strength nominally equal to 70 psi, when averaged over a depth of penetration of said block.
4. A vehicle arresting unit as in claim 1 or 2, wherein said three- dimensional block has an 80/100 compressive gradient strength nominally equal to 90 psi, when averaged over a depth of penetration of said block.
5. A vehicle arresting unit as in claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, wherein said three- dimensional block is formed using a slurry which has undergone a hydration related temperature rise in a range of 5 to 12 degrees F, prior to admixture with said foam.
