Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research project was to assess the condition of general aviation airport pavements in Kansas. The study was also intended to form the basis for a pavement management system (PMS). A total of 137 runways from 107 airports across the state were surveyed. MicroPAVER, a PMS system developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was selected as the platform for the PMS. An inventory database was developed for all runways in the network. Information about the construction and maintenance history was entered into the MicroPAVER database. On-site surveys were conducted between the months of May and July of 2008 to assess pavement conditions in terms of the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), following the methodology outlined by ASTM D 5340-04 and adopted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Approximately 68% of the sections surveyed were in "good" to "satisfactory" condition. Almost one-third of the network can be rated as "good." About 21% of the sections studied were in "fair" condition. Overall, the condition of the network can be rated as "satisfactory." A condition prediction curve was developed for each of the two different types of surfaces. From the prediction curves created using MicroPAVER, it was estimated that the number of branches rated as "good" could decrease by 50% by 2010. As much as 44% of the network could have a rating of "fair" by 2013 if the sections receive only routine maintenance. Two budget scenario comparison reports developed show that the 108 runways of the 78 general aviation airports eligible for FAA funding in Kansas could be brought to a "satisfactory" rating or above (i.e. average PCI [greater than or equal to] 70) by spending approximately $15 million on average per year for the next five years.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pavement Management System (PMS) is a tool that aids in determining the most effective application of maintenance and reconstruction (M & R) work for a given pavement network. The purpose of this research is the development and implementation of an Airfield Pavement Management System for the Winnipeg International Airport (WIA) that expands on the capabilities and usefulness of conventional systems. The system developed in this research utilizes geo-referenced pavement distress data collected using a GPS receiver. Time required to complete Pavement Condition Index surveys has been reduced, minimizing the impact on airport operations of conducting an airfield inspection. Using geo-referenced distress data leads to a multitude of new analysis techniques that allow for optimum management of the pavement network. Several pavement deterioration models have been created using the collected pavement condition data. These models aim to predict pavement condition at points in the future to aid in M & R planning. Models were created using the least-squares regression technique as well as neural network modelling. The use of neural networks appears promising as they are not constrained to a single regression parameter and can account for the interaction b etween parameters and nonlinear relationships. The WIA PMS represents a significant improvement to the functionality of current PMSs by expanding the analysis and modelling capabilities while reducing the effort associated with data collection.

Book excerpt: Micro PAVER is a microcomputer version of the PAVER Pavement Maintenance Management System. PAVER is a field-tested, validated pavement maintenance management for airports, cities, counties, and military installations which is designed to optimize the funds allocated for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M & R). This report discusses the development of the Micro PAVER program and its capabilities in the areas of pavement network inventory, project prioritization, inspection scheduling, determining present and future network condition, determining maintenance and rehabilitation needs, budget planning, and economic analysis. The Micro PAVER technology is based on the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) survey and rating procedure developed at USA-CERL. The PCI, which is a numerical index from 0 to 100, is a measure of the pavement's structural integrity and operational condition and is computed as a function of distress type, severity, and quantity. The PCI provides an objective and consistent measure of pavement condition. Micro PAVER provides data and procedures for practical decisionmaking to identify cost-effective maintenance and rehabilitation needs for roads, streets, parking lots, and airfield pavements. The Micro PAVER system shows the effects on the pavement network of performing no major rehabilitation, allows the determination of life cycle costs for various M & R alternatives, and provides a rational and objective basis for evaluating pavement condition and determining M & R needs and priorities.

Download or read book Airport Pavement Management System Assessing Current Condition and Estimating Remaining Life from Aircraft Demand written by Ali Asadollahkhan Vali and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road pavements management system (PMS) is a well-established approach that could benefit airports. For the implementation of an Airport Pavement Management System (APMS), there is a need to assess current pavement condition by considering observed distress levels and to match such condition to an apparent age, hence enabling the estimation of remaining life. Traditionally the use of a global pavement condition indicator (PCI) is deployed by airport agencies. The estimation of PCI is done manually utilizing reference charts and tables. Automating this estimation is an imperative need. Furthermore, being able to predict the consumption of life by current and future aircraft demand (frequency and distribution) is key to airport operations. AASHTO's mechanistic empirical method was recalibrated to match fatigue after 20 years of operations of a case study on Mashhad International Airport in Iran. The method considers the fatigue damage analysis and includes various factors like aircraft traffic and their loadings and pavement structural parameters. One of the objectives of this research was to automate the estimation of pavement condition index (PCI) based on observed distresses, facilitating the identification of damage and the association of remedial work. The second objective was to predict the pavement's remaining life by using the fatigue damage analysis technique by enabling the ability to predict pavement performance and the assumption that a pavement fails when the load repetition exceeds a certain threshold. By connecting both approaches, better decisions for the type of intervention and the timing of the intervention can be done.

Book excerpt: "Leading the way describes how the men and women of Air Force civil engineering have provided the basing that enabled the Air Force to fly, fight, and win. This book depicts how engineers built hundreds of bases during World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. At the same time, these engineers operated and maintained a global network of enduring, peacetime bases. It describes the engineers' role in special projects such as the ballistic missile program, the Arctic early warning sites, and construction of the U.S. Air Force Academy. Using hundreds of sources, this detailed narrative tells the story of how civil engineers have been organized, trained, equipped, and employed for more than 100 years. From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Afghanistan, civil engineers have forged an unmatched record of success and built a solid foundation for today's Air Force."--Back cover.
