Runway Friction Measurements and Pavement Condition Survey, Mcalf Camp Pendleton, CA

Abstract

The results of friction tests and a condition survey on the runway at the U.S. Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field, Camp Pendleton, California are presented. The 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 no visible pavement defects on Runway 3-21. Runway friction measurements show that some portions of the runway have marginal friction resistance due to poor transverse drainage.
