Airport Pavements has proven to be a must for the professional involved with pavement management. Designed specifically for participants in planning, design, construction, rehabilitation, maintenance, and administration of airports, this course covers all aspects of pavement management. Topics include pavement management, system concepts, GIS for pavement management, design methods for rigid and flexible pavements, pavement conditioning monitoring methods and equipment, rehabilitation and maintenance treatments, and computer methods of runway roughness evaluation. If you fit the category of project engineer, planning manager, or airport director or manager, this course is for you.
Day 1 8:30 - 5:00
- Introduction to Pavement Management - historical development, serviceability performance concept, pavement management process, systematic approach
- Materials characterization for design variables - structural design concepts for rigid and flexible pavements. Deterioration due to fatigue and environment
- Pavement theory - modeling pavement behavior and wheel loads and climatic stresses; use of tools such as Westergaard, layered elastic, discrete and finite element models for wheel loads and recent theories for climatic stresses; relating modeling to pavement design procedures to evaluate their effectiveness
- Pavement Design-I - elements of pavement design, mechanistic design, and layered design methods
Day 2 8:00 - 4:30
- Pavement Design-II - FAA design methods; recent advances in design concepts
- Pavement evaluation - roughness - field measurement sof serviceability and roughness, skid measurements, recent advances in procedures and equipment
- Pavement evaluation - structural - nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment, data interpretation, falling weight deflectometer, seismic, and rolling dynamic deflectometer testing, evluation equipment effectiveness
Day 3 8:00 - 4:00
- Pavement rehabilitation concepts - modeling rehabilitation strategies and techniques. Use of pavement condition data. Overlay design concepts.
- Pavement design with interlocking concrete pavers
- Airport pavement management systems - pavement management needs, analysis and model development, economical operational decision making. Full cost PMS for commercial service airports.
- The use of Geographical Information Systems for Airport PMS - GIS and CAD use, data management, cast studies, implementation of PMS
