Abstract:

A pavement evaluation procedure is presented for evaluating conventional flexible airfield pavements that will fail in fewer than 100 coverages. The procedure utilizes deflection data obtained from a Falling Weight Deflectometer and the age of the pavement to predict the coverages of an F-4 aircraft to failure. Procedures for correcting temperature of the asphalt pavement layer and for predicting performance of other aircraft are presented.
