Strengthening airfield pavements with cement concrete layers

Journal Title: Bulletin of the Military University of Technology - Year 2018, Vol 67, Issue 2

Abstract

The paper presents original solutions and methodology for determining the thickness of cement concrete strengthening layers for repairing and upgrading existing flexible and rigid airfield pavements. Flow diagrams and nomograms for determining edge stress were developed. These are novel solutions which have not been presented in a similar form before now. After deriving the above relations, a method for the practical utilisation of the resulting monograms depending on the parameters of existing airfield pavement and properties of the cement concrete strengthening layer is presented. Preparing calculation-based charts using the derived equations will markedly shorten the procedure of selecting the thickness of cement concrete strengthening layers for existing flexible airfield pavements that require repair depending on the degree of their wear. Keywords: rigid airfield pavement, flexible airfield pavement, pavement strengthening<br/><br/>
