Procedure for the Non-Destructive Evaluation of Flexible Airfield Pavements

Abstract

A procedure for the non-destructive evaluation of flexible airfield pavements is presented. The procedure consists of accomplishing a condition survey using a mechanistic procedure and the accomplishment of a deflection study using a Benkelman Beam and an aircraft at close to maximum load. Procedures are developed and presented for use in the prediction of either the allowable aircraft gross load at specified operational levels or the prediction of the allowable coverage levels at specified gross loadings.
