Asphalt pavement structural competency during staged airfield runway construction strategy
This paper reports the results from a full-scale evaluation of asphalt pavement structural competency during a multi-stage construction strategy. The staged pavement construction included three stages: (1) new conventional asphalt pavement, (2) unpaved full depth reclaimed (FDR) pavement, and (3) thin surface asphalt paved FDR layer. The full-scale pavement sections consisted of a standard and substandard pavement structural design. The accelerated pavement testing (APT) experiments were executed by simulating the loading conditions of an aircraft with a critical combination of relatively high wheel load and high tire inflation pressure. The structural capacity of the pavement test items was monitored using a falling weight deflectometer. From this study, the staged pavement construction concept was found to be a potential approach to extend the service life of asphalt pavements. Unpaved FDR layers are structurally competent to support a low volume of aircraft operations. These findings support the transition to the use of asphalt pavements containing an FDR layer from an experimental to routine rehabilitation practice for airfield asphalt pavements.
