Sustainability Solutions to Complex Support Issues — The 5th Runway at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International
The 5th Runway Project includes the proposed 9,000-foot Runway 10–28, full-length, parallel Taxiway "U", perpendicular dual parallel connector Taxiways "W" and "Z", precast roadway tunnels under these parallel connector taxiways, an 1,100 foot long runway tunnel structure and a taxiway bridge that can accommodate up to 18 lanes of traffic. The tunnel roof also serves as the runway pavement surface. The project required over 17.5 million cubic yards of embankment be placed on a compressed schedule. Due to a limitation on the trucking of material on area roadways, a five mile long conveyor system was used during construction to transport the material from a local quarry. The embankment for the runway is over 60 feet higher than the interstate in some locations and covers a double 10 x 12 box culvert built on piles near and under the west threshold. The Runway 10–28 paving project involves 600,000 SY of pavements over the entire runway and taxiway complex, as well as all supporting services and FAA roadways. Special design considerations involve the pavement design of transition slabs that connect the typical runways and taxiway paving to that of the 18-lane tunnel and bridge structures over Interstate I-285. Several different deep embankments and structural components make up the Runway 10–28 Complex. (1) Man-made fills of 60 ft. to 30 ft. (2) Double Box Culvert on Caissons and H-Piles under 60 ft. of fill near R/W 10 threshold. (3) 1100 ft. Runway tunnel on piles with the top being the runway pavement surface. (4) 550 ft. parallel T/W Bridge on Piles. (5) Twin pre-cast roadway tunnels on piles and spread footings under 15 ft. of fill under the two north-south parallel T/W. (6) Connection of north-south taxiways to existing airfield on in-situ soil These differing support conditions span the entire Runway 10–28 complex and have the potential to cause differential settlement in several places. This paper will examine the nature of the design and construction of the complex. It will also describe the analysis, design, and subsequent solutions to combat and resolve any differential settlement under the runway and taxiway complex.
