Composite Pavement
Flexible Pavement
Made from several layer of materials that
receives loads from above layer, spreads
and passes the loads to the bottom layer to
reduce the stress
Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA) is the specific
material used by flexible or semi-rigid
pavements

Flexible Pavement
The bituminous surface layer is also
resistant to fatigue damage and stable
under traffic loads
whenpavementtemperatures are in excess
of 150F (65.56C).
Flexible pavement is commonly used in
freeway and runway due to its high
maintenance and low life span.

Performance Period
The initial pavement structure shall be
designed and analyzed for a performance
period of 30 yr.
A performance period other than 30 yr. may
be utilized with justifications. For example,
an existing pavement to be widened will be
completely reconstructed within 15 yr. In
this case, a selection of a 15-yr.
performance period is more reasonable and
justifiable for the widening.
Design
Many pavement design procedures use an
empirical approach. This means that the
relationship between design inputs (e.g., loads,
materials, layer configurations and environment)
and pavement failure were arrived at through
experience, experimentation or a combination of
both.
Empirical design methods can range from
extremely simple to quite complex. The simplest
approaches specify pavement structural designs
based on what has worked in the past.
Runway Design
Types, Dimensions,
Marking, Section, Lightings
Visual runways
Non-precision instrument
runways
often used at small- to medium-size airports
may be marked with threshold markings,
designators, centerlines, and sometimes a
1,000ft (305m) mark, known as an aiming
point, sometimes installed at 1,500ft
(457m).
provide horizontal position guidance to planes
on instrument approach viaNon-directional
beacon(NDB),VHF omnidirectional
range(VOR),Global Positioning System, etc.
Precision instrument
runways
found at medium- and large-size airports
consist of a blast pad/stopway (optional, for
airports handling jets), threshold,
designator, centerline, aiming point, and
500ft (152m), 1,000ft (305m)/1,500ft
(457m), 2,000ft (610m), 2,500ft (762m),
and 3,000ft (914m) touchdown zone marks
Precision runways provide both horizontal
and vertical guidance for instrument
approaches.
Graded Runway
Graded Runway
Pavement
prepared and maintained to maximize
friction for wheel braking
pavement surface is usually grooved so that
the surface water film flows into the
grooves and the peaks between grooves will
still be in contact with the aircraft tires to
minimize hydroplaning following heavy rain
Pavement
Pavement
choice of material used to construct the
runway depends on the use and the local
ground conditions
major airport where the ground conditions
permit, the most satisfactory type of
pavement for long-term minimum
maintenance isconcrete
Pavement
Pavement
Flexible Pavement
designated due to their flexibility under load
and their ability to withstand small degrees
of deformation
on the requirement to limit the deflections
under load and to reduce the stresses
transmitted to the natural subsoil
Flexible Pavement
Flexible Pavement
Flexible pavement must be limited to those
pavement areas not subjected to
detrimental effects of fuel spillage, severe
jet blast, or parked aircraft
Jet blast damages bituminous pavements
when the intense heat is allowed to impinge
in one area long enough to burn or soften
the bitumen so that the blast erodes the
pavement
Flexible Pavement
Rigid Pavement
Considered to be any pavement system that
contains portland cement concrete as one
element
Transfer the load to the subgrade by
bending or slab action through tensile
forces as opposed to shear forces
Rigid Pavement
Continuously reinforced
concrete pavement
Prestressed concrete
pavement
Soil Stabilization
Soils used in pavements may be stabilized
or modified through the addition of
chemicals or bitumens
Improved load-carrying and durability
characteristics through the addition of
admixtures
Soil Stabilization
Reduction in pavement thickness, provision
of a construction platform, decreased swell
potential, and reduction of the susceptibility
to pumping as well as the susceptibility to
strength loss due to moisture
Lime, cement, and fly ash, or any
combination of these, and bitumen are the
commonly used additives
Runway Markings
Runway Markings
Each runway is labelled with seemingly
random combination of alphanumeric
Main runways are usually oriented to line up
with the prevailing wind patterns so that
airplanes can take-off into the wind and
land with it
Runway Markings
Runway Sections
Runway Sections
Blast pads (overrun areas or stopways) constructed before the start of a runway to
reduce the erosion of earth by the jet blast
produced by large planes when they power
up for take-off. (theGE90-115Bfound on all
Boeing 777-300ERs produces over 115,000
lbs of force at full power)
Runway Sections
The threshold is essentially the start or end
of the actual runway itself.
The touchdown zone is the target area for
pilots to stick the wheels of their aircraft on
to the runway.
Runway Sections
A displaced threshold is a runway threshold
located at a point other than the physical
beginning or end of the runway.
Displaced thresholds are marked with V
head arrow marks before the threshold of
the runway.
