Airfields, Pavements, and Mobility Information Analysis Center

APMIAC was established within the Geotechnical Laboratory at the Waterways Experiment Station (WES) to provide a focal point for information related to all aspects of airfields, pavements, and vehicle mobility, including analytical modeling, criteria development, laboratory testing, full-scale test tracks, field investigations, modeling and simulations, and operations research.

The Center has expertise in the specialized areas of military vehicle performance operating cross-country, on-road, and in negotiating dry and wet obstacles in worldwide terrains. It is also a source of expertise on the design, construction, evaluation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of pavements and railroads. This research encompasses engineering disciplines such as engineering mechanics, mathematics and statistics, soil mechanics, soil dynamics, engineering geology, pavement technology, materials properties, and soil structure interactions.

In answering requests, APMIAC has access to the WES Research Library which has a collection of over 500,000 items including books, journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, dissertations, specifications and standards, microfilm, and video and audio tapes. APMIAC has the added advantages of total access to WES's information technology, communication, and computer resources, including fiber-optic communications, computer video graphics, automated databases, and optical disk storage and retrieval. In addition, the WES-operated DoD High-Performance Computing Major Shared Resource Center offers cutting-edge capabilities for computational archival storage, scientific visualization, and networking.

The APMIAC scope covers all aspects of airfield pavements and mobility technologies including:
