Bøker i Airfield and Airport Engineeri-serien

This publication provides introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and other professional engineers, planners and construction managers interested in design and construction of air field runways. Although this publication is written to address military air fields, the technical guidance provided is adaptable to non-military air fields. Here is what is discussed: 1. INTRODUCTION, 2. REQUIREMENTS, 3. RUNWAY CLASSIFICATION, 4. RUNWAY SYSTEMS, 5. RUNWAY ORIENTATION/WIND DATA, 6. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR RUNWAY ORIENTATION, 7. RUNWAY DESIGNATION, 8. RUNWAY DIMENSIONS, 9. SHOULDERS, 10. RUNWAY OVERRUNS, 11. RUNWAY CLEAR ZONES, 12. ACCIDENT POTENTIAL ZONES, 13. AIRSPACE IMAGINARY SURFACES, 14. AIRSPACE FOR AIRFIELDS WITH TWO OR MORE RUNWAYS, 15. OBSTRUCTIONS TO AIR NAVIGATION, 16. AIRCRAFT ARRESTING SYSTEMS.

This publication provides introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in construction of airfields in snow and ice where conventional airfield runways (i.e. concrete, gravel) cannot be constructed. This situation occurs primarily in the Antarctic. Here is what is discussed: 1. DIMENSIONAL CRITERIA, 2. SNOW/ICE SURFACE CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE, AND STRUCTURAL EVALUATION CRITERIA, 3. AIRFIELD MARKINGS.
