Development of a Pavement Evaluation Method for Low-Volume Airfield Pavements

The U.S. Air Force has a need to predict the number of aircraft operations to failure on marginal flexible pavements. Alternate Launch and Recovery Surfaces (ALRS) are being constructed for use only when the mission-essential runways are destroyed during an attack. Since ALRS pavements will only be used in contingency situations, an evaluation procedure is required to ensure that the pavements will support a limited number of operations.
