• Abstract:
  Given that TxDOT is responsible for over 400 general aviation airports in Texas, the objectives of this project were to analyze current asphalt and base specifications for airport construction, and to modify Texas Department of Transportation {TxDOT) asphalt and base specifications for use in constructing Texas' general aviation airports. The intention was to submit these modified asphalt and base specifications to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAAJ for approval. Although the aircraft loading on general aviation airports is considerably less severe than that on typical TxDOT highway pavements, the unit bid costs are considerably higher when using the FAA asphalt and base specifications.
