    The document discusses different types of airport facilities like runways, taxiways, and aprons. It also covers types of airports based on aircraft size and different pavement design methods like FAA and British methods.

    The different types of airport facilities discussed are runways, taxiways, and aprons. A typical airport layout is also mentioned.

    Airports are classified as international, regional, and local based on the size of aircraft they can accommodate ranging from Boeing 747 to Cessna for small aircraft.

    SPECIFIC CONCEPTS

    Load classification number (LCN)

    Based on plate loading


    Calculated from Benkelman Beam /FWD
    For flexible or rigid

    Aircraft classification number (ACN) and Pavement


    classification number (PCN)

    Include: pavement type


    subgrade strength
    tyre pressure
    method of calculation

    Used since 1983


    Single wheel load (kg/500) with same performance as
    group

    Equivalent single wheel load (ESWL)

    PCN

    DESCRIPTION

    PCN number
    Type of pavement
    R = rigid
    F = flexible

    Pavement subgrade category


    A = High (CBR = 15)
    B = Medium (CBR = 10)
    C = Low (CBR = 6)
    D = Ultra low (CBR = 3)

    PCN

    Maximum tyre pressure


    W = high (no limit)
    X = medium (< 1 500 kPa)
    Z = very low (< 500 kPa)

    Evaluation method
    T = technical
    U = experience

    PCN (CONT)
    Example: 30/F/C/W/T

    Calculation

    Rigid Max Flexural stress = 2.75 Mpa


    Ec = 27.6 Gpa
    Poisson = 0.15
    p = 1.25 Mpa
