An Environmental Distress Prediction Model for Flexible Army Airfield Pavements

Abstract

Since the 1940's, the Department of the Army has sponsored programs to evaluate the condition of Army airfields. The most recent program was initiated in 1982. In the early to mid 1980's, the advancement of nondestructive test (NDT) procedures for pavements (Green and Hall 1975, O'Brien et al 1983, Bush 1986), coupled with the development of the pavement condition index (PCI) procedure (Shanin and Kohn 1977), provided a means for evaluating airfield pavements relatively quickly and consistently. The procedures used for evaluating pavements have been continually improved through research and the application of new technology.
