AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS ON VERY SOFT GROUND

PAVIMENTAZIONI AEROPORTUALI IN TERRENO MOLTO COMPRESSIBILI

The terrain in question consists of a stratified peaty clay extending to a great depth. The solution proposed is a three-layer construction slightly proud of ground level (to facilitate water run-off), using materials of adequate strength but of low specific weight. The subgrade is constructed by stabilising the natural terrain with lime or cement. This is surmounted by a slab of reinforced lightweight concrete followed by a film of bituminous or resin binder, on to which the top layer of normal or light bituminous mix is laid. A mathematical model is presented for the derivation of design thicknesses.
