AIRFIELD PAVEMENT EVALUATION, USNAS LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA.

Abstract

The evaluation of the pavement at U. S. Naval Air Station, Los Alamitos, 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, design pavement section, climatic data, current aircraft traffic, and pavement and soils profiles. Results of the field and laboratory tests on the pavements and subsurface materials are included in the tables. Results of the evaluation show that runways 4L-22R, taxiways 8 and 10, and the old concrete and asphaltic concrete portions of Parking Aprons 1 and 2 are being overloaded by aircraft currently operating at the air station. In addition, abandoned Runway 16-34 is being overloaded by aircraft using it for ordnance loading and unloading. (Author)
