| Abstract | This report presents an assessment of the state of the art of airport pavement analysis and design. The objective is to identify those areas in current airport pavement analysis methodology that need to be substantially improved from the perspective of airport pavement design and management needs. The foundations of current design practice are examined with emphasis on the last twenty years of research and advancement in the area of pavement response prediction and cross section/layer thickness design. The author presents a review of empirical methods of design for rigid and flexible pavement design, and quasi-mechanistic analyses that are based on layercd-elastic theory or finite element methods. Weakness of current methods as applied to airport operational needs are discussed. The report presents a rational argument for developing a unified pavement analysis and design procedure that can be used for pavements of any material type and that are based on mathematical formulations of the actual stress/strain response processes in airport pavement materials. |
