The performance of concrete block surfacing on a cement-bound base in airfield pavements

AS part of an ongoing development programme on the use of Concrete Blocks on airfield pavements, research was carried out into the structural contribution of Concrete Block Surfacing on a cement-bound base. An experimental pavement was constructed and trafficked by 10 000 load repetitions of a 10 tonne wheel load. The structural contribution of the Concrete Block Surfacing has been assessed from measurements of vertical subgrade strain.
