Abstract:

This report presents an assessment of the state of the art of airport pavement analysis ; and design. The objective is to identify those areas in current airport pavement ; analysis methodology that need to be substantially improved from the perspective of ; airport pavement design and management needs. The foundations of current design ; practice are examined with emphasis on the last twenty years of research and ; advancement in the area of pavement response prediction and cross section/layer ; thickness design. The author presents a review of empirical methods of design for ; rigid and flexible pavement design, and quasi-mechanistic analyses that are based on ; layercd-elastic theory or finite element methods. Weakness of current methods as ; applied to airport operational needs are discussed. The report presents a rational ; argument for developing a unified pavement analysis and design procedure that can be ; used for pavements of any material type and that are based on mathematical formulations ; of the actual stress/strain response processes in airport pavement materials.
