FIELD INSTRUMENTATION FOR MONITORING AIRPORT CONCRETE PAVEMENT RESPONSES

The International Airports Projects (IAP) of the Ministry of Defence and Aviation, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, approached the Research Institute of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM/RI) to undertake a study to develop a rational pavement design method for Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) airport passenger apron pavement for Kingdom-specific conditions. The design method is to be based on in-situ evaluation of apron pavement slabs at the newly built King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) in Damman. This study will lead to an improved understanding of aircraft loading/pavement/environment interactions for Kingdom-specific conditions, which in turn will lead to development of an improved PCC pavement design methodology for airports in the Kindgom.
