This paper provides an overview of the theoretical developments and the results of full-scale experiments conducted at the U.S. Armys Fort Drum facility in the State of New York, USA. Three of the four companion papers in this Special Issue provide details of the analytical and experimental elements of the study. The last paper describes the results of a related laboratory study.", }
