heal.abstract |
In most cases periodical checking of the compatibility between the pavement reporting and its bearing capacity has not been considered in the framework of structural classification methods. Usually, the bearing capacity is expressed in terms of a constant reference value without considering any potential degradation with time. This aspect is being investigated for the runway pavements of the Athens International Airport (AIA), where the verification of the compatibility between the bearing capacity and the pavement reporting is critical for maintaining the safety of the flights and eliminating the risk of extensive damages on the pavement. The elaboration of this task was made by utilizing modern computational tools and not only classical methods. More specifically, for pavement analyses a 3D finite element model was adopted and the results of these investigations were further used to examine the compatibility of the pavement bearing capacity and the PCN reporting value. Comprehensive study of the results shows that the use of computational tools may significantly support the optimization of pavement reporting and additionally to provide information about the reliability of the estimated PCN and the adequacy of the pavement bearing capacity. © 2007 Taylor & Francis Group, London. |
