Abstract

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, airport pavements are primarily constructed to provide adequate support for the loads imposed by aircraft using an airport. The Federal Aviation Administration states that an adequate pavement design produces a firm and stable, all-year, all-weather surface. In order to effectively fulfill these requirements, the pavement must be of such quality and thickness that it will not fail under the loads imposed by the various aircrafts using the airport. It is also vital for the pavement throughout the airport to be durable and long-lasting in order to control operating costs. The pavement chosen must possess sufficient inherent stability to withstand the constant traffic, adverse weather conditions, and other deteriorating influences to a degree that it does not constantly have to be attended to.
