The Performance of Civil Airport Pavement with Lime-Cement-Flyash Base Course

Abstract

The background and application of lime, cement and flyash are reviewed in order to explain the performance of civil aviation airport pavements constructed with lime-cement-flyash as a stabilizing base course. The report states that performance of these pavements has been good and that the state of the art presently provides experimental techniques and laboratory tests to assure an economican and safe design. It is observed that many of the problems are associated with environmental forces and long-term behavior of the materials. A recommendation is that long-term performance together with the effectiveness of any remedial measures should be systematically monitored and catalogued so that any needed changes in the technology can be identified. Also, construction procedures and specifications limits can now be provided to the airport pavement engineering community on the basis of existing data and additional laboratory investigations.
