THIN CONCRETE OVERLAYS AND EXPERIENCE AS USED FOR RENOVATION AND UPGRADING FOR TECHNIQUE MILITARY AIRFIELDS

This paper describes how thin concrete overlays (or inlays) were first used for the renovation of a rutted concrete motorway in 1991. Thorough investigation by the analysis of roughness of casting surface, thin section analysis, bonding strength verified the technique used. After the good experience the technique was further developed and used on several airfields both as a renovation of frost damaged surfaces but also for upgrading of bearing capacity. The technique based on mechanical removing of damaged concrete followed by water milling by high pressure has become a standard procedure for airfields in Sweden. The paper presents results of several airfields where the technique has been used with excellent result. Results of measuring bonding strength, thin section analysis and surface roughness is presented. The technique step by step is also presented in the paper.
