Abstract
The article describes natural airport pavements in the aspect of performing air operations. Due to the fact that airfield functional elements are not always located on ground of sufficient bearing capacity, it is necessary to use treatments that increase the strength of weak soils. Various reinforcement technologies are available on today's market, and choosing the right method is not simple and depends on many factors, including the final effect we want to achieve after improvement, availability of technology or economic reasons. The article presents a proposal to strengthen the natural airfield pavements using geogrids (cellular geosynthetics). The influence of the applied technology on the improvement of the natural airfield pavemen at one of the airport facilities is described. The results of field tests including geotechnical wells, DPL and DCP probing as well as static plate load tests (VSS and load tests performed with high weight deflectometer (HWD), were analyzed.
