DESIGN LOADING • Wheel load • Tyre pressure • Wander: • runway • taxiway

• Forces: • vertical • horizontal

• Example

SPECIFIC CONCEPTS •

Load classification number (LCN)

– – – •



Based on plate loading Calculated from Benkelman Beam /FWD For flexible or rigid

Aircraft classification number (ACN) and Pavement classification number (PCN)



Include: pavement type subgrade strength tyre pressure method of calculation

– –

Used since 1983 Single wheel load (kg/500) with same performance as group

Equivalent single wheel load (ESWL)

PCN •

DESCRIPTION

– –

PCN number Type of pavement R = rigid F = flexible



Pavement subgrade category A = High (CBR = 15) B = Medium (CBR = 10) C = Low (CBR = 6) D = Ultra low (CBR = 3)

PCN •

Maximum tyre pressure W = high (no limit) X = medium (< 1 500 kPa) Z = very low (< 500 kPa)



Evaluation method T = technical U = experience

PCN (CONT) – Example: 30/F/C/W/T



Calculation



Rigid Max Flexural stress = 2.75 Mpa Ec = 27.6 Gpa Poisson = 0.15 p = 1.25 Mpa Westergaard



Flexible: 10 000 repetitions p = 1.25 Mpa CBR or Boussinesq

DESIGN PROCEDURES •

DESIGN PROCEDURES (CONT) • PCA – Graphs – AIRPAV (Westergaard) • Mechanistic • South African

FAA METHOD • • • • • •

Design aircraft - largest thickness



Graphs (departures, gross mass, CBR)

Convert all aircraft to design Adjust annual departures Subgrade - CBR, k Critical on non-critical areas Wide bodies (> 45 500 kg): stabilise base and subbase

– Total thickness – Base course thickness

FAA METHOD (cont) • Flexible – – –

Subbase: CBR > 35, any type Base: CBR > 100, any type Surfacing: 100 mm AC

• Rigid – Wastergaard, edge loading – Subbase, any type – Panel size

BRITISH METHOD •

Design ACN: highest ACN mixed traffic

• •

Design life:

20 - 30 years

Frequency:

low - 10 000 over life medium - 10 000 high- 250 000

• •

Traffic patterns Coverages and Pass - to - Coverage ratio

BRITISH METHOD (CONT)

• •

Design curves (ACN, CBR, Traffic, PQC) Flexible

– Surfacing: 100 mm or 0.33 x DLC – Base: bound (DLC, AC), stabilised, granular (CBR > 30%) – Subbase: granular (CBR > 30%) •

Rigid

– Failure: 50% cracking – Subbase: DLC, stabilised or granular – Temperature warping (+ 10%) – Joints/slab size (type, aggregate)

EXAMPLES
