Boeing777 Pavement Load Tests

摘要

The research reported in this paper is the result of a three year test program conducted from July of 1994 to August of 1996 by The Boeing Company and the Russian airport technology firm Progresstech, Ltd. The program was primarily designed to study the pavement loading characteristics of the six-wheel 777 landing gear but was expanded to include tests to characterize two, four, six and eight-wheel gears under both static and quasi-static loading conditions. The 1996 program also included tests designed to provide an indication of the relative impact of trafficking four and six-wheel gears on the accumulation of surface deflections.
