The influence of CBR parameters of low-frost-susceptible soils on the process of airport pavement design

Journal Title: Bulletin of the Military University of Technology - Year 2018, Vol 67, Issue 3

Abstract

The paper presents the issue of layer thickness selection in designing of concrete airport pavements depending on the values of soil substrate calculation parameters. This analysis is based on laboratory testing of low-frost-susceptible soils, specifically silty sands of various silt content, for which the California Bearing Ratio values were determined [1, 2]. Dimensioning methods used in airport pavement design are presented, together with their brief descriptions. Comparative calculations of surface layer thickness depending on the interpretation of the obtained CBR laboratory test results are performed. Differences in airport pavement layer thickness resulting from the assumed CBR values are presented. A correction of the results of pavement calculations based on the California bearing ratio is proposed. Keywords: airport pavement, CBR test, pavement dimensioning, soil subtrate, low-frost-susceptible soil.<br/><br/>
