heal.abstract	Rating of the aircraft load effect and reporting structural classification of airport pavements have always been interesting tasks for pavement Engineers. Up to now, most of the methods used to handle these aspects have been based on a semi-empirical background; only recently few preliminary attempts have been made to adopt the use of analytical tools and models in this area. Following this, the introduction of an alternative procedure for rating the aircraft load and reporting the bearing capacity of pavements based on analytical models is being investigated. The related research included 3D finite element models as well as multi-layer elastic ones. Investigations showed that it is possible to introduce a flexible alternative methodology compatible with recent analytical method and tools and at the same time to retain the simplicity of the traditional classification systems. The overall appreciation provided very promising results on the accuracy and reliability of the proposed alternative, which indicates that this approach can be a useful tool for several airport pavement applications. © 2007 Taylor & Francis Group, London.	en
