RPA P3 Field Instrumentation & Testing Federal Aviation Administration Presented to: REDAC By: Navneet Garg, Ph.D. Date: August 16, 2017
RPA P3 Overview Field Instrumentation & Testing Need Research Goals Research Goals More durable, long-lived airport pavements, reduced lifecycle costs, better prediction of pavement service life, and accurate assessment of aircraft-pavement compatibility Provides better understanding of long term pavement behavior in the field under varied climatic and operating conditions, and improved paving materials characterization will conserve airport development funds and reduce the downtime of runways from construction and maintenance activities. Pavement performance data under different climatic conditions. Deliverables Technical Reports, technical papers. Funding Requirements FY 2016-2017 Accomplishments Finite Element Analysis for JFK project - Underway. Field Instrumentation & Testing FY 2017 through FY 2019. FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Milestones - Completed sensor installation at BOS. - Completed lab tests on materials collected at BOS. - Complete sensor installation at PHL. - Complete lab tests on materials collected at PHL - Complete in-situ tests at PHL. - Install sensors at FDR project at Davis, CA (tentative).

PHL Objectives Determine the response of concrete slabs and asphalt concrete under multi-gear aircraft such as A-350, B-777, etc. Compare the performance of concrete slabs and asphalt concrete under aircraft load. Evaluate the load transfer efficiency of the joint Measure the temperature profile in cement pavement and asphalt pavement. Study the effect of temperature profile on pavement response. Evaluate curling in concrete slabs. Measure the pressure on top of subgrade and base layer under aircraft load for different pavement structure. Characterize the subgrade, base, cement concrete and asphalt concrete materials. FAA Instrumentation team is coordinating with contractors construction schedule to begin installation RPA P3 Field Instrumentation & Testing August 16, 2017 15 Federal Aviation Administration
