Abstract

AbstractAsphalt pavement distresses like surface shoving and slippage cracking can be found at airports in areas where aircraft brake and turn, such as high-speed exits, as a result of the high surface-shear forces. Slippage failure is typically caused by the deterioration of bonding between asphalt layers (delamination), or a lack of shear resistivity within the surface-layer asphalt mix. High pavement temperatures have also been shown to contribute to slippage failures in asphalt concrete pavements. At the intersection of Runway 4 R-22 L and High-Speed Taxiway N (HST-N) at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), interlayer delamination was determined to be the cause of shoving and slippage cracking on the pavement surface. In 2012, asphalt strain gauges were installed during a scheduled repaving of the runway and taxiway. This paper details the components of an asphalt strain gauge instrumentation system, and analyzes the strain responses collected from the gauges installed at EWR. By identifying la...
