Research and Analysis of Civil Airport Asphalt Concrete Pavement Damage Cause Evaluation and Countermeasure

Abstract

Asphalt concrete pavement is characterized by convenient construction and maintenance, ride comfort, low noise, and strong adaptation and coordination deformation. Therefore, it has been gradually used in civil aviation transport airport runway, especially in recent years, the proportion of runways used in large hub airports has increased. However, asphalt concrete pavement also has many issues that is not conducive to the security of airport operation and management under the influence of traffic load, natural environment, and material performance. This paper analyzes and studies the causes and countermeasures of the damages through the investigation of several cases of asphalt concrete pavement damages in China, so as to provide reference for the extensive application and maintenance management of asphalt concrete pavement in airports in the future.

Analysis of Runways Surface Conditions Using Pavement Condition Index Method (Case Study: I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airports)

“…Distress commonly occurs in flexible runway pavement and could be in the form of cracking, distortion, disintegration, joint seal damage, and loss of skid resistance (FAA, 2007). The quantity of distress to the surface of the runway pavement reflects the pavement condition (Su et al, 2021). As an effort to obtain the Value of the runway pavement condition, one of the common methods often used by airport managers is the pavement condition index (PCI) method (Miah et al, 2020), a visual inspection-based method to acquire data in the field accurately by identifying the type of damage and the quantity of damage on the pavement surface so that the Value of the pavement…”
