  • The ARDC-13 was a 2800-ton auxiliary floating drydock used for testing during the Able and Baker nuclear weapon tests of Operation Crossroads in the Bikini Atoll. It was used to determine the effects of the atomic bomb phenomena on land-based concrete structures. The final report on ARDC-13 was part of a final supplementary report to the Commander Joint Task Force One. The ARDC-13 was built by the Haddock Company out of Pasadena, California in March 1946 under contract Noy-11999. It was 84 feet by 389 feet with a depth of 14 feet. Two wingwalls, both 26 feet high and 306 feet long, were mounted on top of the ARDC-13. Steel frames were built within the wingwalls for extra support. The wingwalls consisted of transverse frames and both water and non-watertight bulkheads. The ARDC-13 was important for confirming that water-front structures needed to be designed to withstand severe waves and flooding as ports are considered a good target for bombs. (en)

Ces murs se composaient de cadres transversaux et de cloisons étanches et non étanches. L'ARDC-13 était important pour confirmer que les structures du front de mer devaient être conçues pour résister aux vagues violentes et aux inondations, car les ports sont considérés comme une bonne cible pour les bombes.
