As explained in a previous paper, the CBR design curves for heavy wheel loads were extrapolated from highway data in the initial stages of the airfield construction program. Subsequently, the curves were correlated with the service behavior of pavements under both accelerated traffic and actual airplane traffic. The purpose of this paper is to present the data that have been accumulated on this subject and to show the correlations that have been made. A comparison between the data and the present CBR thickness design curves is presented.
