Abstract
Egypt has many airports which include millions of square meters of paved runways,taxiways and aprons, these pavements serve a great mix of different aircrafts. Aviationcommunity has a large investment in airport pavements. The major objective in thedesign and construction of these pavements is to provide adequate load-carryingcapacity and good ride-quality which permit safe operation of aircraft under all weatherconditions. Immediately upon completion of construction, airport pavements begin agradual deterioration which is attributed to several factors. These factors include trafficloads, weathering, and faulty construction technique. In addition inferior materialsproperties and differential movement the underlying subbase can fasten pavementdeterioration, and effect pavement performance. Consequently, failure to performroutine maintenance during the early stages of deterioration may result in extensiverepairs at a later date. The main objectives of this research were to provide guidelinesfor pavement maintenance periorites through the evaluation of pavement conditions.This objective was accomplished by performing a condition survey on AswanInternational Airport as a case study to determine pavement distresses in accordancewith ASTM D 5340-93. The computer software Micro PAVER 5.2 was then used toanalyse the survey data. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was determined as anoverall indicator for pavement condition. After that, the Forign Object Damage (FOD)and Structure Integiriry Capacity (SCI) were determined. Research results can be usedto assist in identifying and forecasting maintenance and fuature repair work.consequantly periorites for conducting such this work can be assingned.
