CONCRETE RUNWAY CONSTRUCTION LESSONS LEARNED
The Navy recently administered the construction of a critical Air Force facility--the parallel runway at Clark Air Base in the Philippines. The Pacific Division of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command administered the design and construction of the new runway. The project required construction of a concrete runway 3,200 m (10,500 ft) long by 61 m (200 ft) wide with connecting taxiways and holding aprons, aids to navigation, lighting, storm water drainage, and other facilities. The pavement section included portland cement concrete varying in thickness from 254 mm (10 in.) to 356 mm (14 in.), a 152 mm (6 in.) central plant-mixed cement stabilized base, and a fill subgrade of predominately sandy soils. Features of the design and construction are identified and how these features relate to pavement quality is discussed.
