John F. Kennedy International Airport Pavement Classification Number Determination: A Case Study
Under international agreements made by the U.S. Government with the International Civil Aeronautics Organization (ICAO) the FAA is obligated to publish information on the strengths of all public airport pavements, using the standardized ICAO method to report airport runway, taxiway, and apron pavement strength. As a result the FAA requires the use of Advisory Circular 150/5335-5C Standardized Method of Reporting Airport Pavement Strength—PCN for all projects funded with Federal grant monies. In 2018 John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) decided to update pavement classification number (PCN) values for the runways and the entire taxiway network. The procedure for updating PCN values for more than 500 pavement sections at JFK included obtaining the pavement cross section information from a pavement management system database and review of more than 1,000 pavement cores that the port authority of New York and New Jersey had collected over the years. Heavy weight deflectometer (HWD) tests were conducted on pavement management system (PMS) sections following the requirements of advisory circular 150/5370-11B. Subgrade strength, required for PCN evaluations, was backcalculated from HWD test results for pavement sections with various types and thicknesses. Traffic loadings were derived from surface movement system data. Updated PCN values were calculated using the technical method meeting the FAA’s reporting requirements as specified in AC 150/5335-5C. The outcome is used to inform airport operations staff where on the airfield to avoid operating larger aircraft and can be deployed in a GIS system for quick reference.
