STATISTICAL EVALUATION OF AIRPORT PAVEMENT CONDITION SURVEY DATA FOR WASHINGTON, OREGON, AND IDAHO

This study evaluated pavement condition survey information, provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), on airport runway pavements from three northwestern states: Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. The study consisted of establishing a runway pavement database, which was based on the pavement's surface characteristics. The two primary pavement surfaces evaluated were flexible pavement (which included AC overlay, bituminous surface treatment, and various maintenance application) and rigid (Portland Cement Concrete). Through statistical analysis regression equations (or models) were developed for prediction future pavement performance and survival statistics for estimating average pavement life. The statistical analysis was performed using the computer software package MINITAB. The models and survival statistics will assist airport managers, engineers, and maintenance personnel in making the difficult decisions they faced regarding pavement design, maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation.
