AIRFIELD PAVEMENT EVALUATION - USMCAS YUMA, ARIZONA

Abstract

The evaluation of the U. S. Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma, Arizona, is presented with the allowable gross load capacities of the runways, taxiways, and parking aprons for single, dual, and dual tandem wheel assembly aircraft as computed from the evaluation tests. Information is also included on the construction history, climatic data, and current aircraft traffic. Results of field and laboratory tests on the pavement and subsurface materials are included in the tables. The results of the evaluation show that only the old portion of the operations parking apron is being overloaded by military aircraft at the air station.
