Download or read book Assessment of Pavement Condition of General Aviation Airports in Kansas written by Mustaque Hossain and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major objective of this research was to assess the pavement condition of the General Aviation (GA) airport runways in Kansas. This study was also intended to form the basis for a pavement management system (PMS) for these airports. The survey shows that approximately 26% of the GA airport runway sections surveyed are in poor to failed condition. The pavement deterioration model developed for these sections indicates that by June 1997 this percentage will increase to about 33%. The network maintenance report developed in this study shows that the fifteen airports under this study are in need of approximately $800,000 for repairs as of June 1995 in order to keep the average condition of these airports rated as "good". In this pilot study, 16 out of 116 paved runways were surveyed for a PMS for the GA airports in Kansas. This study indicates that a full-scale PMS based on MicroPAVER (a microcomputer-based PMS developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) for GA airports in Kansas is feasible. In order to develop a working PMS for the whole network in Kansas, it is recommended that as a minimum, a 30% sample, or 20 more paved runways, be surveyed

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 1996 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given indications of the decline in the quality of Kansas General Aviation Airports and the potential negative effects of airport deterioration on Kansas communities, the objectives of the research are to document the deterioration of Kansas General Aviation Airports by obtaining information regarding the needed capital improvements at these airports; to measure the economic impacts of substandard airports on general aviation service users; and to identify the types of business firms whose location decisions are significantly affected by high quality air service. The objectives of the research are accomplished through the use of questionnaires distributed to managers of Kansas General Aviation Airports, to Kansas businesses that use airports, and to members of the Kansas Pilots Association (KPA). Airport managers provided a long list of needed capital improvements with special emphasis on lengthening and resurfacing the runway.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Budgets for all forms of airfield construction, including maintenance and rehabilitation, continue to dwindle. With this decrease, the importance of managing existing pavement assets becomes increasingly significant. Airport managers often tend to delay pavement maintenance and rehabilitation without analyzing, or sometimes realizing, the effects of such decisions on future maintenance and rehabilitation costs. One of the most important steps to overcoming this potential problem is the emplacement of an effective pavement management system (PMS). A pavement management system is defined as a set of tools or methods that can assist decision-makers in finding cost effective strategies for providing, evaluating and maintaining pavements in a serviceable condition. A quality pavement management system provides critical information required for airport managers to properly analyze the structures under their purview. From this analysis, the airport manager can determine maintenance and rehabilitation requirements, project priorities, and can conduct more efficient long-term planning.
