Ultra-Thin Portland Cement Concrete Overlay of a General Aviation Runway.

摘要

The principle objective of this research project was to evaluate the use of a thin concrete overlay to be used for asphalt pavement rehabilitation for an existing runway and if found practical, implement the concept into a construction project. Testing of the concrete/asphalt interface to study the paving responses under traffic loadings and evaluate the interface bonding strength between the two surfaces took place after construction. At the time of the project, there had not been an ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW) overlay of an asphalt runway at a general aviation runway in the United States.
