Airfield Pavements: Challenges and New Technologies

Proceedings of the 2003 Airfield Pavement Specialty Conference, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, September 21-24, 2003. Sponsored by the Transportation & Development Institute of ASCE.

This collection contains 35 papers addressing advances in the analysis, design, and construction of airfield pavements. The papers provide a broad-based discussion of pavement design and research, pavement performance, pavement materials, and construction procedures as applied to airfield pavements.

Topics include:

• Prestressed pavement;
• Alternative pavement materials;
• Performance of pavements under varying loads;
• Rapid construction and repair of airfield pavements;
• Pavement management;
• Airfield pavement load modeling;
• Design features of large runway projects; and
• Partnering of concerned parties in the construction process.

Highway and airfield pavement designers will find this book a valuable addition to the literature on pavement engineering.
