CE 452 Design of Airfield Pavement I Slides based on materials prepared by Prof Jie Han, University of Kansas, USA Outline Introduction Basic principles Rigid pavement design FAA method 2 Airfield vs. Highway Pavements • Repetition of load • Distribution of traffic • Geometry of the pavement Affected by pavement width and type of aircraft Plan View of Basic Types of Wheel Configuration a) single trailer-truck unit b) tricycle landing gear with single tires c) twin-tandem landing gear d) double twin-tandem gear Several Typical Aircrafts Effect of Standard Deviation of Aircraft Wander on Pavement Damage Predicted transverse Equivalent DC-8-63F Strain repetitions Measured transverse (taxiway) Np x 103 crack frequency (%) Rigid Airport Pavement Design – PCA method – Corps of Engineering method – FAA method: based on the Westergaard analysis of edge loaded slabs FAA Pavement Design Principles FAA Airport Pavement Design Aircraft Considerations Load (95% main landing gear, 5% nose gear) Landing gear type and geometry • Single gear aircraft • Dual gear aircraft • Dual tandem gear aircraft • Wide body aircraft – B-747, B-767, DC-10, L-1011 Tire pressure: 75 to 200 psi (515 to 1,380 kPa) Traffic volume AC 150/5320-6D Equivalent Single Wheel Load (ESWL) Design Procedure • Forecast annual departures • Select design aircraft that requires the thickest pavement • Transform other aircrafts to equivalent departures of design aircraft Determination of Design Aircraft The required pavement thickness for each aircraft type should be checked using the appropriate design curve and the forec
