Runway Friction Measurements and Pavement Condition Survey, NPTR EL Centro, California

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1074707 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The results of friction tests and condition surveys on the active runways at the National Parachute Test Range, El Centro, California are presented. The survey established statistically-based condition numbers weighted defect densities which were direct indicators of the condition of the individual pavement facilities. The runway friction measurements showed the aircraft hydroplaningskidding potential of the field. The results of the survey showed that in June 1976 the asphaltic concrete of Runways 8L-26R and 8R-26L had deteriorated since the 1969 condition survey.
