Airfield Pavement Evaluation. Report Number 8. Ardmore Air Force Base, Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Abstract
Results of flexural strength, CBR, and plate bearing tests, moisture and density determinations, mechanical analyses, and Atterberg limits tests conducted on the pavements, bases. amd subgrades of the various landing facilities at this airfield are used in the report to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of the pavements with respect to various landing-gear assemblies and operational-life categories. The analysis of these test results indicated the over-all field evaluation to be governed by the load-carrying capacity of the interior portion of the NW-SE runway, which is the weakest facility essential to operation of the field.
