Airport Pavement Surface Treatment: A Literature Review

The Federal Aviation Administration Airport Technology Research and Development (ATR) Branch conducted a study of airport pavement surface treatments to identify evidence-based best practices and guidance for selecting surface treatments as the appropriate treatment strategy for different airfield pavement locations. The study will be used to further develop airport guidelines for the use of surface treatments. The literature review described in this technical note supports the baseline state of the practice related to the use of surface treatments on airport pavements. It includes an overview of publications on surface treatments used as preventive maintenance, surface treatment selection, effectiveness of surface treatments, and highlights from selected case studies.
