This document discusses the proposed design methodology for airfield pavement using the Advanced Concrete Pavement System (ACPS). The objectives of the ACPS design are to meet FAA and ICAO requirements by maintaining a cumulative damage factor below 1.0 and matching edge stresses calculated by ACPS to those required by FAA. The design procedure involves matching edge stresses between equivalent jointed plain concrete pavement and the proposed ACPS. Advantages of ACPS include rapid installation with minimal disruption and better quality control during precasting of concrete panels.

PROPOSED ACPS DESIGN METHODOLOGY

16. OBJECTIVE OF ACPS DESIGN FOR AIRFIELD
PAVEMENTS
 To meet the design criteria
 Cumulative Damage Factor (CDF)
 Edge Stress of concrete slabs
 To meet the requirement from ICAO by
providing
 Aircraft Classification Number (ACN)
 Pavement Classification Number (PCN)
 To meet standard international requirements
for General Aviation (GA) and Non- General
Aviation (Military aircrafts)

17. DESIGN RATIONAL FOR AIRPORT USING ACPS
 The main design rational are
 To meet the requirement for the Cumulative
Damage Factor (CDF) below 1.0
 To match the Edge Stress between the
FAARFIELD requirement and the edge stress
from the ACPS calculations
 By meeting those two items above, the
ACPS design is classified as “rational
design” that meets the requirement of FAA
and ICAO

20. ADVANTAGES OF ACPS
 Installed rapidly
 Cause minimum disruption
 Better construction of slab off-site (pre-cast)
 Better quality control of concrete materials (pre-cast)
 Better concrete curing regiment (controlled curing)
 More durable materials (K-400 concrete)
 Multi tasks (non-linear construction activities) during
panel installation in the project
 Field acceptance testing is minimal
 Longer life pavement, minimum maintenance
