PAVEMENT DESIGN FOR THE 3RD RUNWAY AT STOCKHOLM-ARLANDA AIRPORT, SWEDEN

The 3rd Runway at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, the main international airport of the capital of Sweden, is currently under construction and will be opened for air traffic in 2002. A pavement design for the new runway has been carried out in a project run by the Swedish CAA. The design has been carried out for both flexible and rigid pavement alternatives. During the design work present research results and experiences have been taken into consideration. Different design methods and recently developed software have also been used. Sensibility analyses have been made and the flexible and rigid alternatives have been compared and evaluated by life-cycle cost analyses. The alternative that finally was chosen was a flexible pavement for the runway system and a rigid pavement for the de-icing aprons. At the moment the paving work that has proceeded during the last three seasons is finished and the new runway will be opened in a few months. For the covering abstract see ITRD E118503.
