Investigation of a Concrete Blistering Failure
During construction of a concrete pavement at a military airfield, numerous small blisters formed on the concrete surface behind the slipform paver and were filled by the contractor using...
Standard Methodologies for the Forensic Investigation of Pavements
The high costs of new construction have made the preservation and restoration of existing pavements an attractive alternative to replacement structures. Existing pavements that are to...
An Airfield Pavement Forensic Analysis: Cairo East Air Base
The US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) was requested by the Middle East/Africa Projects Office in April 1989 to provide technical assistance in analyzing an unstable asphalt...
Forensic Analysis of a Two-Component Joint Sealant Using FTIR-ATR
Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy using Attenuated Total Internal Reflectance (FTIR-ATR) was used to chemically identify joint sealants obtained from an airfield pavement joint which...
Settling Down Easy
In order to more fully participate in the international and Asian Pacific aviation network, it was decided to establish a highly efficient 24-hour a day operation at the New Kansai International...
The Thermal Regime Surrounding a Longitudinal Edge Drain
Newton Airfield in Jackman, Maine, was constructed in 1986 to perform as a drained pavement system. The drainage design consisted of a permeable base course with a longitudinal edge drain...
A Mechanistic Approach to Pavement Design for Nome Airport
The analysis of performance and design of the pavement structure for the North-South runway at Nome Airport is based on the mechanistic approach. In the mechanistic approach, calculated...
Privatization Takes Flight
The number of air travelers in the U.S. is projected to double by early in the next century. Delays have also been mounting rapidly. Major airports around the world are facing the same...
Development, Utilization and Conservation of Ise Bay Area
This paper presents the principal conceptional plan for development, utilization and conservation of Ise Bay Area at the beginning of the 21st century, from the viewpoint of the Port Coordination...
Bayswater Park Restoration?The Case for Offsite Mitigation
A long term parking lot redevelopment, including a 33 acre (0.13 km2) expansion on an undeveloped parcel of the John F. Kennedy (JFK) International...
Project Controls for Denver International Airport
Managing a $2 billion dollar construction program requires a unique application of tried and true control systems and provides an opportunity to innovate new methods. The Program utilizes...
Immersed Tube Tunnel, Boston, Massachusetts
A four-lane Immersed Tube Tunnel is planned for the crossing of Boston Harbor from the City of Boston to the Logan Airport area in East Boston. The immersed tube consists of 12 sections...
Seismic Practices for the Air Transportation System: Evolution and Needs
The seismic performance of air transportation systems is reviewed. The evolution of seismic design criteria and practices for major air transportation system elements is discussed. The...
Aircraft Traffic Mix Analysis: Damage Factors and Coefficients
Historically, traffic mix analyses have been based upon the use of the critical or most damaging aircraft. The damage effects of other aircraft are either ignored or empirically incorporated...
Pavement Design by Elastic Layer Theory
The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station has been developing methodology by which airport/airfield pavements can be designed based on elastic layered analysis for the Federal...
Pavement Design for the New Denver International Airport
Denver International Airport is the first new major U.S. airport in twenty years. Primary airfield elements in Phase I development include 5-12,000 foot runways and 1-16,000 foot runway,...
Joint Spacing for Airfield Pavement
This paper looks at various factors affecting portland cement concrete(PCC) pavement cracking, with special emphasis on the effect of joint spacing on crack development. A rational approach...
The Effects of Runway Roughness on Aircraft Fatigue Life
A computer code developed within the Flight Dynamics Directorate of the Wright Laboratory was used to simulate the dynamic response of heavy aircraft operating on runways with various...
