Airfield Pavement Condition Survey and Pavement Evaluation, USMCAS, EL Toro, California

Abstract

The results of a condition survey and friction tests on the runway at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro, California are presented. Additionally, plate load test results and load ratings for the asphaltic concrete portion of Runway 16R-34L and the asphaltic concrete portion of Runway 7L-25R west of runway 16L-34R are reported. The condition survey established statistically-based condition numbers (weighted defect densities) which were direct indicators of the condition of the individual pavement facilities. The runway friction measurements showed the aircraft hydroplaning/skidding potential of the field. The results of the condition survey show that on portland cement concrete pavements, continuing maintenance has generally reduced the number of spalls and joint seal defects. On asphaltic concrete pavements, the number of cracks has increased somewhat. Runway friction measurements show all runways range from marginal to good in frictional resistance.
