Natural pavements are an important element of flights. Among other things, they allow the plane to be safely slowed down after it has exited the runway. For this reason, load bearing capacity of natural airfield pavements and strength of turf layer at a specified level are required. Currently used testing methods, such as CBR (Californian Bearing Ratio) tests or turf probe test, separately do not give a full image of pavement technical condition. The authors presented the methodology for assessing the technical condition of natural airfield surfaces based on the APCI (Airfield Pavement Condition Index). The index is based at the same time on the load bearing capacity of the surface layer up to 0.85 m and turf layer strength. The mathematical model and the classification of airfield pavements in terms of the APCI indicator are presented. The article also presents an example of using the APCI method to assess shoulders and end safety areas of the runway at one of the operating airport facilities.

The assessment of the anti-skid properties of airfield pavements is one of the elements in the process of determining their current technical condition, which is important in terms of the safety of air operations. The condition of the pavement should be qualified on the basis of the specified and required values (criteria), in this case, the coefficient of friction and the depth of the texture. Unfortunately, in practice, the assessment of the texture of new airfield pavements raises some doubts with regard to the existing requirements. The work presents an analysis of the results of texture tests for new airfield pavements in relation to current requirements. In addition, the authors proposed a new criterion of average texture depth for new airfield pavements, based on actual field measurement results. Field studies used an innovative method of assessing anti-skid properties with a measuring system that allows simultaneous measurement of the coefficient of friction, μ, and the new continuous coefficient of average profile depth and texture CMPTD, from which MPD (Mean Profile Depth) and ETD (Estimated Texture Depth) can be determined. The results of the tests cast doubt on the possibility of obtaining the average texture depth (currently 1.00 mm) required for new airfield pavements.

The load-bearing capacity of natural airfield pavement has a direct impact on the safety of air operations. Unfortunately, the field tests often indicate that the load-bearing capacity of natural airfield pavements is not sufficient. In this case, it is necessary to reinforce them in order to meet the requirements set out in international documents. It is important that the method of reinforcing the subsoil is fast and as noninvasively as possible. There are many methods of reinforcing the subsoil, however, they are expensive and time-demanding, which involves turning off the airport for a long time. Airfield geocells made of recycled plastics discussed in the article seem to be the optimal solution due to the quick implementation of their application by pressing into the existing natural pavement. The article presents the results of laboratory tests demonstrating that material in question is load-resistant and chemical-resistant, while field studies have confirmed that the airfield geocell made of the plastic in question improves the load carrying capacity of natural airfield pavement.

The aim of this research is to assess corrosion in natural atmospheric conditions, based on exposure of material samples and periodic monitoring, and to determine the size of corrosion losses, their form and appearance, as well as changes in physical properties at regular time intervals. Atmospheric corrosion tests were ultimately carried out in order to determine the corrosion resistance of a cement concrete airfield pavement, as well as to assess the type of corrosion and research data in order to determine and estimate the corrosivity of the atmosphere. Atmospheric corrosivity is one of the parameters characterizing the technical condition of airfield pavement functional elements; it makes it possible to estimate a suitable frequency of airfield periodic inspections. Assessments of concrete corrosion and atmospheric corrosivity enable appropriate countermeasures to be taken in order to maintain the airport functional elements in a constant state of technical readiness. In the following study, the prepared samples were exposed to atmospheric conditions in designated places located at selected military airport facilities. Corrosion samples in the form of 50 mm × 100 mm standard samples, 1 mm to 3 mm in thickness, were placed on special frames located within fenced corrosion stations. The corrosion rate rcorr of a specific metal, expressed as a corrosion loss, depends on the environmental conditions. This article presents an atmosphere corrosivity category assessment for low-carbon steel, zinc, copper and aluminum reference samples, taking into account weight or thickness loss after one year of exposure.

The contact surface of the wheel with the airport surface is important for the safety of flight operations in the ground manoeuvring area. The area of the contact surface, its shape and stress distribution at the pavement surface are the subject of many scientists’ considerations. However, there are only a few research studies which include pressure and vertical load directly and its influence on tire-pavement contact area. There are no research studies which take into account aircraft tires. This work is a piece of an extensive research project which aims to develop a device and a method for continuous measurement of the natural airport pavement’s load capacity. One of the work elements was to estimate the relationship between wheel pressure and wheel pressure on the surface, and the area of the contact surface. The results of the research are presented in this article. Global experience in this field is cited at the beginning of the article. Then, the theoretical basis for calculating the wheel with the road surface contact area was presented. Next, the author’s research views and measurement method are presented. Finally, the obtained test results and comments are shown. The tests were carried out for four types of tires. Two of them were airplane tires from the PZL M28 Skytruck/Bryza and Sukhoi Su-22 aircraft. Two more came from the airport ASFT (airport surface friction tester) friction tester-one smooth ASTM; the other smooth retreaded type T520. The tires were tested in a pressure range from 200 to 800 kPa. The range of vertical wheel load on the pavement was 3.23–25.93 kN for airplane tires, and 0.8–4.0 kN for friction tester tires. The tests proved a significant influence of the wheel pressure value and wheel pressure on the surface on the obtained contact surface area of the wheel with the surface. In addition, it was noted that the final shape and size of the contact surface is affected by factors other than wheel pressure, tire pressure and dimensions.

Airoport infrastructure development requires care to maintain it in proper technical condition. Due to this, airport pavements should be constantly monitored, and, above all, correctly managed. High-level airport pavement management requires access to reliable information about their current technical condition as well as proper forecasting of this condition in the future. Obtaining good quality information about the technical condition of airport pavement should be based on a proven methodology, taking into account the introduced quality management system. The authors propose a method of technical pavement condition assessment based on the Airfield Pavement Condition Index (APCI), taking into account not only the results of the surface deterioration inventory, but also repair overviews, load bearing capacity, evenness and roughness of the surface, as well as the surface tensile bond strength. The method was developed during long-term work financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. At the beginning of the article, the authors focus on reviewing the currently available methods of assessing the technical condition of the pavement. Then they briefly present the most popular surface assessment method based on the PCI indicator. Afterwards, a proprietary asphalt pavement assessment method based on the APCI indicator is proposed and an example of how to use the method is presented. Finally, they discuss the results and summarize the work done, and present further directions of work.

Many factors have an impact on flight operation safety and air transport participants life. This article presents one of them, which is maintenance of the airport infrastructure in a good condition, with proper infrastructure management, in particular of cash and human resources. At the beginning of the article, attention is paid to the aspect of safety and human life in air transport. Also, an overview of world experience in the field of assessment of the technical condition of airport pavements was presented, including the standard method of the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) estimation. Then, the authors propose an innovative method of assessing the condition of airport pavements based on the Airfield Pavement Condition Index (APCI), taking into account, apart from the extent of surface damage, such parameters as load capacity, evenness, roughness, and bond strength. This approach gives a broader picture of the actual condition of the airport pavement, which has a great importance on flight operation safety, including passengers and cruel life. Next the described research method is experimentally verified in real conditions at Polish airports. Finally, an example of using the APCI method in the assessment of selected airport pavements from Polish airports is presented. The results of tests performed on five functional elements of a military airfield are presented. A satisfactory result is obtained for three elements, an adequate—for two.

The article focuses on presenting the impact of the airfield pavements operability on the obtained values of the friction coefficient. The problem was captured in the context of the surface contamination’s increase during the half-year measurement period. In addition, a reduction of the pavement surface anti-skid parameters in the touchdown zone on the runway, in relation to its central part was presented. Anti-skid properties are characterized by two main parameters: coefficient of friction at wheel/surface contact zone and depth of surface texture. There are proven and used for years methods for measuring the macro- and micro-texture of the surface and the roughness of the surface. In order to check the impact of operating processes on the anti-skid properties of airfield pavements, appropriate tests have been carried out. Changes resulting from arise of rubber amounts on the selected runway’s (DS1) and taxiway’s (DK) surfaces starting from late winter till late summer were assessed. In addition, a different runway was assessed (DS2) for which a map of friction coefficient values was made in order to show areas with worse anti-skid properties. The article confirmed the necessity of constant control of anti-skid parameters of airport pavements in order to ensure safety conditions at an appropriate level. Maintenance services and proper operation of airfield pavements also is necessary to minimize the effects of surface deterioration and the accumulation of contaminants in its area.

An airfield pavement is a designated and properly prepared surface of an airfield functional element (AFE) fulfilling a specific task as part of air operations. A structural system of an airfield pavement is a set of layers, the task of which is to safely take over and transfer loads coming from moving aircraft onto the subsoil. The safety of air operations conducted by aircraft over airfield pavements most of all depends on the load-bearing capacity of their structures. The basic type of airfield pavements includes rigid pavements (elastic) made of cement concrete. The load-bearing capacity state of cement concrete airfield pavements are strongly impacted by concrete properties (physical, mechanical, rheological and resistance to environmental factors), as well as the condition and type of the subsoil directly under the evaluated pavement structure. Adopting an appropriate computational model for the evaluated structure, correct identification of the layers comprising the airfield pavement, accuracy of determining the technical parameters of materials sampled from the structure and a correct assessment of the load-bearing parameter of the subsoil directly under the assessed structure make the load-bearing end result expressed by a PCN index or the permissible number of air operations to be similar to actual conditions. The article presents the dependencies showing the impact of varying physico-mechanical parameters of concrete on the end results of the pavement load-bearing capacity.

Safety maintenance is a key and essential condition for flight operations performance by aircraft. It refers to all functional elements of an airport, i.e. runways, taxiways and aprons, as part of the movement area at civil, as well as military airports. Airfield pavements, likewise the aircraft and technical personnel of ground control directly affecting the safety of flight operations, are the integral part of each functional element of an airport. Airports in the event of force majeure, critical events and foremost, in the event of war threat are the facilities that would be the first objects to focus on. As a result, airfield pavements constructions would be destroyed and require quick reconstruction that guarantee its restoration of operational readiness and safety conditions for operating aircraft. Existing technology and methods of airfield pavement reconstruction could not meet the stringent time requirements of military operations, that is why mobile, composite airfield mats have been developed. In the paper, operational and maintenance advantages of the elastic, mobile airfield mat ELP-1 KRATER manufactured by Shipyard Żuławy are shown. There is presented the computational model of composite pavement which co-operates with subbase and also shown are the results of field tests, performed by the Air Force Institute of Technology. Moreover, there are presented the results of load-bearing capacity of the composite airfield mat ELP-1 KRATER received during field tests.

Appropriate skid resistance properties of airfield pavements are extremely important in terms of the safety of air operations. Their evaluation is not limited to the measurements of the coefficient of friction, which determines the roughness of a pavement, but also involves measuring the depth of the pavement texture (micro- and macrotexture), which is a component of the tire-pavement contact surface friction characteristics. It should be stressed that the current aviation documents do not contain a strict interconnection between the texture depth parameter and airfield pavement coefficient of friction criteria. Based on the result population gathered in the course of the field tests, the authors plan to determine the impact of texture on the roughness of airfield pavements.

Skid resistance properties of airfield pavements substantially affect the safety of the conducted aircraft operations. The evaluation of these properties is not limited to the measurements of friction coefficient defining the friction state of pavement, but also includes the measurements of texture depth of pavement (micro- and macro-texture). The authors focused on the currently applied research methods used to assess the skid resistance properties of airfield pavements. In addition, the requirements in this field and the assessment criteria of the obtained results were also addressed. Example results of field tests and their short analysis were also presented. Besides, it was stressed the direction of further works conducted by the authors, which concerns the development of the research method used to assess the skid resistance properties of airfield pavements, precisely in the field of the measurement of texture depth of pavements.

Appropriate skid resistance properties of airfield pavements are extremely important in terms of the safety of air operations. When discussing skid resistance properties of airfield pavements, we should not limit the subject only to the friction coefficient, which determines the state of its roughness. Attention should be paid to the fact that a significant component of friction characteristics of a tyre/pavement contact surface is the pavement texture (microtexture and macrotexture). The authors of the article presented the currently applied study methods in the scope of evaluating the texture of road and airfield pavements. The paper also presents sample results of field tests, which were conducted on new airfield pavements (executed in the cement concrete and asphalt concrete technology), as well as their short analysis in relation to evaluating the skid resistance properties (friction coefficient). Particular attention was paid to the current requirements in this scope, imposed on airfield pavements and the assessment criteria of the obtained results. Moreover, the paper also presents a direction of further works conducted by the authors with a broader team, in the scope of developing the study method for the assessment of airfield pavement texture.

The essential factor, which affects the safety of air operations, is the proper airport management based on systemically acquired information regarding the condition of the pavement surfaces of their functional elements. One of the elements in evaluating an airfield pavement technical condition is the assessment of their deterioration degree. This paper contains an extract from a broad study aimed at developing an index characterizing the deterioration degree of cement concrete airfield pavements, based on the results of visual inspections of damage and repairs, and their stock-taking based on a catalogue of common damage and the defined damage and repair quantity surveying principles.

An important factor, which affects the safety of carried out flight operations, constitutes proper management of airports on the basis of information on the pavement condition of their functional elements, obtained in a systemic manner. One of the elements of the technical condition estimation of airport pavements is the assessment of their deterioration degree on the basis of identified damage and carried out repairs. Such an approach allows to forecast essential resources necessary to carry out repairs and rationally plan overhauls. The multicriteria analysis presented in this article is a method of the weighted assessment supporting the deterioration degree estimation of airport pavements. While calculating the criteria, it is important to focus on parameters characterising the deterioration degree of airport pavements, both of civil and military facilities. Therefore, it is important to diagnose the functional elements’ pavements of these airports within the framework of current five-year inspections, and to carry out inspections including the inventory of damage and made repairs within the annual intervals.

The age of currently operated concrete airfield pavements in Poland exceeds 30 years operation period many times. Such a long working life of airfield pavements forced to search for the efficient and fast technologies of their reconstruction. The article described in detail the technologies of fast reconstruction of airfield concrete slabs using prefabricated slabs. The addressed technology guarantees the reconstruction and even the improvement of the condition of loadbearing capacity of mentioned airfield slabs which was confirmed during laboratory tests, field tests and practically verified in the real operation in the International Airport Kraków-Balice.
