Airport pavements evaluation
The airport pavement deteriorates during service due to traffic and climate effects therefore systematic monitoring is required in order to assess their structural and functional condition. The aim of this work is to present the methodologies used nowadays for airport pavement evaluation and to contribute to their improvement in structural analysis area The main aspects that are addressed are the application of the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and the use of the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) tests, for structural evaluation, and the use of the GRIP tester and the measurement of texture depth of the wearing course layer, for the functional evaluation of the runway. Also, freeware computer softwares used to design new runways (FAARFIELD and COMFAA) are presented and examples are given. Case studies are described both for structural and functional evaluation.
