AIRFIELD PAVEMENT EVALUATION - USNAS MOFFETT FIELD, CALIFORNIA.

Abstract

The evaluation of pavement at the U. S. Naval Air Station, Moffett Field, California, is presented with the allowable gross load capacities of the runways, taxiways, and parking aprons for single, dual, single-tandem, and dual-tandem wheel assembly aircraft. Information is also included on the construction history, climatic data, and current aircraft traffic. Results of the field and laboratory tests on the pavements and subsurface materials are included in the tables. Results of the evaluation show that Runway 14L-32R, the East Taxiway, the Diagonal Taxiway, the 6-inch-thick pavement in Parking Apron 1, the 7-inch-thick pavement in Parking Apron 2, and the pavements inside Hangars 1, 2, and 3 are being overloaded by the current aircraft stationed at NAS Moffett Field, California.
