Strategy for a Concrete Overlay of a Commercial Service Runway without Daytime Closure
Many single runway commercial service airports and airports with highly congested multiple runway have a dilemma when trying to rehabilitate their runways. The dilemma is how to minimize the disruption to airlines and passengers by reducing runway closures while keeping the revenue stream constant. We are proposing a new method of nighttime structural overlay of either asphalt or portland cement runways using a fast setting, belitic calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) cement. The rapid strength gain properties of BCSA cement concrete make this strategy feasible. The difficulty is not in the concrete placement, but rather in the reconstruction process in short 5 to 8 hour runway closures. Concrete removal is one of the most time-consuming portions of the reconstruction process. If the old concrete or asphalt did not have to be removed but simply overlaid with new BCSA concrete, more production could be accomplished each closure window.
