“Airport pavement testing evaluates the structural strength and condition of runways using non-destructive methods. The data supports safe aircraft operations and long-term pavement management.”
“Runway strength is commonly measured using Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) testing, which simulates aircraft loading conditions and analyzes pavement response.”
“ACR/PCR is ICAO's current methodology for evaluating aircraft loading requirements and pavement structural capacity.”
“The transition from ACN/PCN to ACR/PCR requires additional analysis and structural pavement data. Airports typically use detailed pavement testing and engineering evaluation to establish ACR/PCR values.”
“Common systems include: • Heavy Weight Deflectometers (HWD) • Surface profiling systems • Friction testing equipment • Pavement condition assessment technologies.”
“Accurate pavement data helps airports maintain safety, support operational decisions, optimize maintenance planning and meet regulatory requirements.”
“A Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) is a non-destructive pavement testing system used to evaluate the structural condition of roads, airfields, and other heavily loaded pavements. The system applies a controlled impulse load to the pavement surface and measures the resulting deflection basin.”
“Both HWD and FWD systems evaluate pavement structural condition by measuring pavement deflections under a dynamic load. The primary difference is the load capacity.”
“An airport should consider using an HWD when evaluating the structural condition of runways, taxiways, aprons, or other pavements subjected to significant aircraft loads. HWD data can support pavement rehabilitation planning, remaining-life assessments, overlay design, and Pavement Classification Rating (PCR) calculations when combined with ELMOD pavement analysis software.”
“The Dynatest HWD supports a dynamic load range from 30 kN to 320 kN (6,600–71,800 lbf). Multiple loading configurations can be used to generate load levels suitable for different pavement structures and engineering objectives.”
“Yes. The Dynatest HWD is designed for structural pavement evaluation on both roads and airports, including highway investigations, rehabilitation projects, airport pavement assessments, overlay design studies, and pavement management programs.”
