 COMMON DISTRESS IN CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

 DURABILITY OF CONCRETE
 SEMICIRCULAR HAIRLINE CRACKS CLOSELY SPACED
INCREASING FROM EDGES/JOINTS
 SCALING
 DUE TO HIGH WATER CONTENT IN MIXES

 PCN EVALUATION

 NON DESTRUCTIVE METHOD OF PAVEMENT

EVALUATION AS PER ICAO NORMS.
 USE OF FWD/HWD
 PREVIOUS METHOD OF LCN WAS CUMBERSOME.
BASED ON EVALUATION ON THE POINT OF FAILURE.
 DEFINITION
 PCN IS THE ACN LOAD OF THE CRITICAL AIRCRAFT THAT
CONSUMES THE TOTAL STRUCTURAL PAVEMENT LIFE IN A
CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME
 INPUTS
 EXISTING / FORECASTED TFC
 AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS
 PAVEMENT DESIGN 32
 ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE
 PCN EVALUATION

 FORMAT
 N/R/C/X/T
 N : PCN
 R : TYPE OF PAVEMENT
 SUBGRADE CATEGORY
 TYRE PRESSURE
 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
 PCN IS A METHOD OF EVALUATING A CONSTRUCTED PAVEMENT.
PAVEMENT CANNOT BE DESIGNED TO A SPECIFIC VALUE OF PCN.
