The impact of climate, load, and materials on the performance and deterioration of general aviation airports in Illinois

There are over 70 publicly owned airports in Illinois, the majority of which serve only general aviation (GA) aircraft having gross maximum weights less than 30,000 lbs. Although less visible than the larger air carrier, reliever, and commercial airports found near metropolitan centers, the smaller GA airports provide a valuable service to many communities. This dissertation examines Illinois GA pavement performance and the impact that load, climate, and materials/construction factors have on the formation and propagation of distress in GA pavements.
