APPENDIX C: WHEELED VEHICLE MOTION RESISTANCE DATA
Table C1 contains the data for the CIV reported here plus the wheeled vehicle data
presented in Blaisdell et al. (1990), Richmond et al. (1990) and Green and Blaisdell
(1991). Some corrections were made to the data presented in the earlier reports. The
resistance values are presented as the measured value minus the hard surface
resistance divided by two, and thus represent the 1/2 of the resistance attributable
only to the snow. For each vehicle, normal loads are 1/2 the axle loads; some of the
CIV resistance data are for the first axle only and thus it is considered a one-axle
vehicle. The sinkage is calculated using eq 1 and 7. The shaded data were not
included in the regression analysis for the reasons stated in the Table C1 notes.
