Event Description/Abstract
Runway Pavement Analysis with Non-Destructive Testing | Lafayette (Purdue University) Airport’s runway 10–28 (6,400 feet) was reconstructed in 1997/1998. The asphalt surface was pulverized and overlaid with FAA P-401 asphalt on the runway and INDOT #11 asphalt on the shoulders. The existing pavements were experiencing multiple types of distresses throughout that did not accurately reflect the pavement condition index. This presentation will cover the field analysis, including the use of non-destructive testing on the material layers, data results, and recommendations to repair based on the existing and future fleet mix of aircrafts.
