DFW Concrete Block Pavement Taxiway Construction
The first concrete block pavement constructed on an airport in the United States was constructed at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport during 1990. The use of concrete blocks on three...

Recycling Bituminous Runway Pavement into Aggregate Base Course
The paper discusses the development of recycling existing bituminous runway pavement by pulverizing into aggregate base course. To best explain the design, construction procedures and...

A Concrete Alternative to Runway Reconstruction
Faced with the prospects of losing commercial air service for up to two months, the Charleston County Aviation Authority, the Charleston Air Force Base and their engineers had to look...

Alternative Airfield Pavement Quality Control
In recent years, the cost of maintaining quality control during airfield construction projects has concerned airport operators and engineers alike. This paper addresses the possibilities...

An Airfield Pavement Consultant System (AIRPACS) for Rehabilitation of Concrete Pavements
Airfield pavement knowledge captured by this research showed that knowledge-based techniques can be used to quickly select and design rehabilitation alternatives for a runway, taxiway...

Results of the 1989 ASCE Airfield Pavement Survey
In November of 1989, the American Society of Civil Engineers Airfield Pavement Committee sent out questionnaires to airfield pavement engineers across the country to assess the most recent...

ACN-PCN Concepts for Airport Pavement Management
The aircraft classification number-pavement classification number (ACN-PCN) method is the standardized International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) method for reporting airport pavement...

Freudenthal Lecture Developments in Structural Reliability
Rather than reviewing the details of developments in structural reliability theory and its implementation over the last few decades, more recent and more relevant reliability issues are...

Identification of Critical Load Distributions for Wind Loading
For practical application as well as for sophisticated investigations, the time dependent stochastic wind process has to be simplified in terms of input data to the calculation. Usually,...

Wind Loads on Large Broadcasting Antennas: Records and Elaborations
Alternative estimations of the 50-year gust winds from the data available in typical Italian sites of broadcasting antennas are summarized and compared with the design winds suggested...

Towards Improved Loading Model for Design of Offshore Structures
The study presented in this paper uses geometries of different offshore platforms to quantify the effects of uncertainties in design calculations. The effect of wave directionality and...

Loading Uncertainties in Extreme Waves
Uncertainties associated with extreme base shear forces and extreme overturning moments are estimated for an idealized eight-legged jacket platform. The structure is assumed to respond...
