To minimize the situation of aircraft overshooting the runway, the FAA (US Federal Aviation Administration) requires each runway to have a runway safety zone (RSA) of at least 300 meters long. However, many airports built before this regulation took effect do not meet standards, and space expansion is often not feasible due to high costs and space limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Soft Ground Arrestor System (SGAS) is considered an effective solution in such conditions. Among them, the EMAS (Engineered Materials Arrestor System) system is currently the only type of SGAS approved by the FAA. When the aircraft clears the runway and enters the EMAS system, the aircraft's wheels crush the blocks of material below, creating drag and helping the aircraft decelerate quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Foam concrete has emerged as a potential material for SGAS due to its high energy absorption capacity and superior mechanical properties. This article presents the results of research on the properties of foam concrete and its application to SGAS at airports.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" data-file-name=\"download-upscaled-low resolution v2-4x.jpeg\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/v-line.beepigllc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/01-download-upscaled-low-resolution-v2-4x.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Structure and Requirements for SGAS Materials<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><b>Design requirements of the EMAS system<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>A typical EMAS system consists of crushable concrete blocks designed to gradually increase in thickness from start to finish.
