THE CONDITION AND LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE EXISTING TAKE-OFF AND LANDING RUNWAY AT STUTTGART AIRPORT WHICH IS NOW RENEWED

ZUSTAND UND TRAGFAEHIGKEIT DER ALTEN ERNEUERTEN START-UND LANDEBAHN DES FLUGHAFENS STUTTGART

The sections of the 2550 M long take-off and landing runway built between 1951 to 1963 have a construction thickness of 53 to 70 cm. In 1974 the stipulated lcn value was increased to 75. Due to the expected further deterioration of the condition of the starting and landing runway an interim renewal of 75 percent of the total length (= 1920 metres) was planned with a 39 cm thick water-bound base course and a 26 cm thick concrete slab constructed in a single layer with joints at 7.5 M centres. In the region of the longitudinal joint on the existing old slab an elastically-effective anchor was built in. On the basis of measurement carried out, a lcn value of 100 can be permitted for the renewed stretch for an associated elastic length of 275 cm. Measurements were carried out on the basis of the multi-layer theory taking into account the small cracks which form in the water-bound base course. This permits the unlimited usage of the Boeing 707-330C and the Airbus A300-b4. For those parts not renewed a lcn value of 80 to 90 for an associated length of 150 cm can be permitted. After 6 to 10 years a basic renewal of the whole starting and landing runway is planned.
