ishvaaag - thanks. It does not look like something related to runways but I would like to read it. could you please send me a copy of that document? qaztor@yahoo.com
Focht3 - As it says it is a RUNWAY. It is an existing runway with the pavement strenght capacity described. Since the original pavement section is unknown (no bores are available either) that is why I asked. And yes I have experience designing runways, taxiways, Aircraft parking Aprons, highways, and parking lots. Does it matter?
After some calculations I can also share with you that the critical aircraft for this Airport (B-II), will impose a dual wheel load of 30875 lbs. A regression with values for SWL and DWL from several large and small airports in the area (Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, LA) gives us a mean factor of 1.55. This represents a Dual Wheel Loading of about 36000 lbs (23600 x 1.55) for the runway in question. Any comments on this probabilistic aproach. thanks
