Rational Pavement Evaluation -Review of Present Technology. Volume II.

摘要

A detailed research and development plan is described outlining a research program to evolve a rational pavement evaluation procedure. This procedure can be used to determine the load rating of airfield pavements to enable establishment of aircraft assignments and allowable gross aircraft loads for military airfields. The report outlines four areas of research: structural analysis of pavements,engineering properties of paving materials,pavement mechanics,and aircraft operational characteristics. Work unit statements are presented which describe the scope and objective of the research considered necessary to develop a provisional pavement evaluation procedure. This initial research will require a development period of 3years. (Author)
