Impact and Penetration of Layered Pavement Systems
The Air Force is sponsoring research on damage-resistant runway designs. The designs are based upon principles which use high strength/high density materials to resist weapon momentum. Initially, two subscale pavement sections will be designed, one representing a rigid pavement for long-term aircraft traffic, and the other representing a redundant surface to withstand limited aircraft operations. The penetration resistance for both pavement sections will be determined experimentally. Penetration-resistant layers of rock or concrete rubble will then be designed as a sub-base to the pavement sections and these designs will be tested at subscale. Testing full-scale penetration-resistant rubble layers will be accomplished, and concept development should be complete in the late 1980s. (Author)
