Abstract:

Based on a large survey of currently representative design methods of asphalt concrete airport pavement in the world,structure thickness of Kunming New Airport is analyzed using the design methods of 6E,6D from FAA,China's civil aviation asphalt pavement design method and the new design method from the author's research group. The results show that the total thickness of pavement structure designd by the Civil Aviation Specifications of China is thicker than the 6E of FAA by 27 cm;the total thickness of the new design method from author's research group is closer to the 6E of FAA;the total thickness based on the the pavement structure dynamic mechanical response is thicker than static mechanical response by 15 cm. After discussing the thickness of Kunming New Airport pavement,some problems of the present design method are discussed in details. Besides,the development of design method in China is discussed and some advices are put forward for further design. Through the research,some technical references are provided for the improvement of our design theory of asphalt concrete pavement.
