| 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. Aviation community has a large investment in airport pavements. The major objective in the design and construction of these pavements is to provide adequate load-carrying capacity and good ride-quality which permit safe operation of aircraft under all weather conditions. Immediately upon completion of construction, airport pavements begin a gradual deterioration which is attributed to several factors. These factors include traffic loads, weathering, and faulty construction technique. In addition inferior materials properties and differential movement the underlying subbase can fasten pavement deterioration, and effect pavement performance. Consequently, failure to perform routine maintenance during the early stages of deterioration may result in extensive repairs at a later date. The main objectives of this research were to provide guidelines for pavement maintenance periorites through the evaluation of pavement conditions. This objective was accomplished by performing a condition survey on Aswan International Airport as a case study to determine pavement distresses in accordance with ASTM D 5340-93. The computer software Micro PAVER 5.2 was then used to analyse the survey data. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was determined as an overall indicator for pavement condition. After that, the Forign Object Damage (FOD) and Structure Integiriry Capacity (SCI) were determined. Research results can be used to assist in identifying and forecasting maintenance and fuature repair work. consequantly periorites for conducting such this work can be assingned. | ||||
