Résumé du livre
"The objective of this study was to develop a socketed foundation for use with the S3x5.7 (S7x8.5) weak post. The design focused on cylindrical, reinforced concrete foundations with a steel tube placed in the center for use as a socket. The foundation was to prevent both damage and displacements exceeding 1 in. (25 mm), as measured at groundline, during an impact event. To evaluate various foundation designs, ten dynamic bogie tests were conducted over three separate rounds of testing" (page i).
