United States Air Force Research on Airfield Pavement Repairs Using Precast Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) Slabs (BRIEFING SLIDES); Conference presentation

摘要

AFRL is developing a method for contingency rigid pavement Portland cement concrete (PCC) slab repairs using precast PCC slab panels. AFRL is leading the technology development by critically reviewing the research conducted to date in this arena by the Air Force and the highway and civil aviation agencies and adopting the techniques for Air Force needs. The repairs must be made at off-peak traffic times (often at night), and the airfield must be ready for aircraft operations by the time of next high operations tempo which might be within six to eight hours. The research objective is to critically review the pre-cast slab repair research conducted to-date by AFRL and to optimize the equipment, materials, and techniques for precast slab repair including technology transfer activities including, but not limited to, training, reports and preparation of ETLs.
