Aircraft Flexible Pavement Design in Australia
After World War Two, aircraft pavement design practice in Australia was largely developed from the work done by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The C.B.R. pavement design method now differs...
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...
Performance of Airport PCC Pavements During Spring Thaw Periods
The portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements at two Wisconsin airports, Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, and Outagamie County Airport in Appleton, were monitored during spring thaw...
Prediction of Airfield Pavement Responses Using Transfer Functions
A methodology is presented which will aid in the evaluation and maintenance of airfield pavements. Predictions of an airfield pavement's behavior to multiple types and magnitudes...
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...
Automating Airfield Condition Data Collection
This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the newest technology for the data collection requirements of an airport interested in implementing a pavement management system....
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...
DFW Pavement Management System Implementation
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is implementing a comprehensive pavement management program to assist them in identifying and prioritizing maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction...

Probabilistic and Reliability Analysis of Asphalt Concrete Airfield Pavements
A procedure was developed to analyze layered elastic asphaltic concrete airfield pavement systems in terms of probability and reliability. Rosenblueth method is used to estimate the expected...
On the Dynamic Response of Bridges by Oscillating Vehicles on Rough Surfaces
The spectral theory is applied to the response of bridges under a Poissonian stream of vehicles moving with constant speed over the bridge. The vehicles are modeled as oscillators with...
Approximate Reliability Analysis of Highway Bridges Under the Action of Random Vehicles?In Relation to an Interchange Bridge of China
In relation to an interchange curved bridge of China, a simple method by FSE for analysis of stochastic vibration has been proposed. The random vibration characteristics of bridge structures...
National Aero-Space Plane Pioneering New Frontiers
Paper reviews the current status, technology and potential future space launch applications of the joint DOD/NASA National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) program. Key program goals include first...
Planning and Budgeting Pavement Marking Installation Using Microcomputer
This paper presents a microcomputer based Pavement Marking Management Information System (PM-MIS) software suitable for processing pavement marking data. The software has the capability...
Economic Analysis of Local Highway Maintenance
This paper presents a computer program which uses the present worth of life-cycle costs as a basis to select the most cost-effective maintenance strategy to apply to local highway pavements....
MECHOD: A Mechanistic Overlay Design Program for Flexible Pavements
