Abstract: Pavement management relies on the evaluation of the condition of pavement at different times during the life of the structure. The combination of condition indicators and the knowledge of how they are used in any pavement ...

Abstract: The curling and warping of rigid pavements are the results of temperature and moisture gradients varying with depth, creep, and other factors, including construction. The indicators commonly used to evaluate slab deformation ...

Abstract: During military contingency operations, aircraft are required to land, taxi, and takeoff on unpaved surfaces. In some cases, operational time limitations do not allow for the construction of paved surfaces to establish ...

Abstract: Many aspects influence the skid resistance of a pavement surface including surface texture, tire characteristics, vehicle operations, and environmental factors. The objective of this paper is to quantify the temperature ...

Abstract: Many government agencies are faced with the challenge of pavement evaluation and maintenance as part of their pavement management systems. These agencies perform or contract manual or automated distress surveys over the ...

Abstract: The procedure for the design of military rigid airfield pavements contained in the Unified Facilities Criteria 3-260-02 gives the minimum thickness of airfield concrete pavements as 152 mm (6 in.). The introduction of the ...
