Concrete Pavers for Aircraft Pavement Surfaces
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 112, Issue 6
Abstract
Analysis of trials and tests carried out at Luton Airport in the United Kingdom has indicated that concrete pavers provide a surfacing for aircraft pavements which has certain advantages over the pavement quality concrete and bituminous surfaces normally used. An increase of 14% in pavement strength, in terms of its load classification number (LCN) has been measured after surfacing with concrete pavers. Some of the concerns of the FAA regarding the use of concrete pavers on aircraft pavements in the United States are considered.
