    This document discusses the design of airfield pavement. It begins by noting key differences between airfield and highway pavements, including the repetition of aircraft loads and how pavement width and aircraft type affect the design. It then shows examples of different aircraft wheel configurations and provides an overview of rigid pavement design methods. The remainder of the document details considerations for the design aircraft and traffic volumes, describes the design procedure and principles of rigid pavement design, and notes requirements for subbase courses and how to determine critical versus noncritical areas of the pavement.

    Design of Airfield

    Pavement

    Airfield vs. Highway Pavements


    Repetition of load
    Distribution of traffic
    Geometry of the pavement
    Affected by pavement width and type of aircraft

    Plan View of Basic Types of Wheel Configuration


    a)

    single trailer-truck unit

    b)

    tricycle landing gear with


    single tires

    c) twin-tandem landing gear


    d)

    double twin-tandem gear

    Rigid Airport Pavement Design


    PCA method
    Corps of Engineering method
    FAA method: based on the Westergaard
    analysis of edge loaded slabs

    FAA Pavement Design Principles


    Design
    Advisor Circular AC 150/5320-6D
    Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation
    Provides guidance from the Federal Aviation
    Administration for
    airfield pavement design

    Aircraft Considerations
    Load (95% main landing gear, 5% nose gear)
    Landing gear type and geometry
    Single gear aircraft
    Dual gear aircraft
    Dual tandem gear aircraft
    Wide body aircraft B-747, B-767, DC-10, L-1011
    Tire pressure: 75 to 200 psi (515 to 1,380 kPa)
    Traffic volume

    Design Procedure
    Forecast annual departures
    Select design aircraft that requires the thickest
    pavement
    Transform other aircrafts to equivalent departures of
    design aircraft

    Determination of Design
    Aircraft
    The required pavement thickness for each aircraft type
    should be checked using the appropriate design curve
    and the forecast number of annual departures for that
    aircraft
    The design aircraft is the aircraft type that produces the
    greatest pavement thickness
    The design aircraft is not necessarily be the heaviest
    aircraft in the forecast

    Principles of Rigid Airport


    Pavement
    Design

    Based on Westergaard analysis of edge loaded slabs

    (modified to simulate a jointed edge condition)


    Determine k value for rigid pavement
    Concrete flexural strength
    Gross weight of design aircraft
    Annual departures of design aircraft

    Subbase Requirements
    A minimum thickness of 4 in. subbase
    Types of subbase courses
    - Item P-154: subbase course
    - Item P-208: aggregate base course
    - Item P-209: crushed aggregate base course
    - Item P-211: lime rock base course
    - Item P-304: cement treated base course
    - Item P-306: econocrete subbase course
    - Item P-401: plant mix bituminous pavements
    Stabilized subbase (aircraft weight > 100,000 lbs)
    - Item P-304: cement treated base course
    - Item P-306: econocrete subbase course
    - Item P-401: plant mix bituminous pavements

    Critical and Noncritical Areas


    Total critical pavement thickness = T
    Noncritical pavement thickness (for concrete slab
    thickness)
    = 0.9T
    For variable section of the transition section and thinned
    edge, the reduction applies only to the concrete slab
    thickness
    The change in thickness for the transitions should be
    accomplished over an entire slab length and width

    Design Steps
    Several thickness of subbase thickness should be tried
    =>
    most economical section
    Assume P-304 (cement treated base course) to be used
    Trial thickness of subbase = 6 in.
