FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT TEST SECTION FOR 300,000 LB. AIRPLANES, STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA

A SPECIAL TEST SECTION HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED TO OBTAIN DATA FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN CRITERIA FOR 300,000-LB. AIRPLANES, USING THE CALIFORNIA BEARING RATIO METHOD. DATA ARE BEING OBTAINED ON THE RELATIVE BEHAVIOR OF THE SUBGRADES WHEN PROTECTED BY DIFFERENT THICKNESSES OF PAVEMENT, OR BY COMBINATIONS OF VARIOUS THICKNESSES OF PAVEMENT AND FOUNDATION MATERIALS, AND SUBJECTED TO THE ACCELERATED TRAFFIC OF A HEAVILY LOADED 110-IN.
