1.1 Overloading of pavements can result either from loads too large, or from a
AI-assisted research summary: The text gives suggested aircraft pavement overload criteria and percentage limits for occasional overload movements.
19.1.1 Overloading of pavements can result either from loads too large, or from a substantially increased application rate, or both. Loads larger than the defined (design or evaluation) load shorten the design life, whilst smaller loads extend it. With the exception of massive overloading, pavements in their structural behaviour are not subject to a particular limiting load above which they suddenly or catastrophically fail. Behaviour is such that a pavement can sustain a definable load for an expected number of repetitions during its design life. As a result, occasional minor over-loading is acceptable, when expedient, with only limited loss in pavement life expectancy and relatively small acceleration of pavement deterioration. For those operations in which magnitude of overload and/or the frequency of use do not justify a detailed analysis, the following criteria are suggested: 418 The Civil Aviation (Aerodromes) Regulation, 2017 GN. No. 73 (contd.) a) b) for flexible pavements, occasional movements by aircraft with ACN not exceeding 10 per cent above the reported PCN shall not adversely affect the pavement; for rigid or composite pavements, in which a rigid pavement layer provides a primary element of the structure, occasional movements by aircraft with ACN not exceeding 5 per cent above the reported PCN shall not adversely affect the pavement; c) if the pavement structure is unknown, the 5 per cent limitation shall apply; and d) the annual number of overload movements shall not exceed approximately 5 per cent of the total annual aircraft movements. - 19 Verify source ↗
1.2 Such overload movements shall not normally be permitted on pavements
AI-assisted research summary: Overload movements are generally not allowed on distressed or failing pavements, should be avoided during thaw after frost penetration or when water could weaken the pavement, and the appropriate authority must regularly review pavement condition and overload criteria when overload operations happen.
19.1.2 Such overload movements shall not normally be permitted on pavements exhibiting signs of distress or failure. Furthermore, overloading shall be avoided during any periods of thaw following frost penetration, or when the strength of the pavement or its sub-grade could be weakened by water. Where overload operations are conducted, the appropriate authority shall review the relevant pavement condition regularly, and shall also review the criteria for overload operations periodically since excessive repetition of overloads can cause severe shortening of pavement life or require major rehabilitation of pavement. - 19 Verify source ↗
