The Canadian Habbakuk Project: a Project of the National Research Council of Canada
Book •
L W Gold's work compiles official documentation and technical assessments related to the NRC of Canada's involvement in testing pycrete prototypes and supporting Allied research for Project Habakkuk.
It covers the logistics of building the prototype on Lake Patricia, testing procedures, and the engineering challenges encountered, including cold flow and reinforcement concerns.
The report provides insights into wartime intergovernmental collaboration and the practical limitations that led to the project's cancellation.
As a technical and historical record, it is valuable for researchers studying unconventional wartime engineering projects and Canada's scientific contributions during WWII.
