Assessing the impact of global warming on airfield pavement lifespan

Within a research and development partnership agreement, Group ADP laboratory and the French civil aviation authority (STAC) installed several temperature sensors inside pavements to study the impact of global warming on the service life of airfield pavement. Based on the data collected, this presentation will show the evolution of pavement temperature over time, with the aim of recalculating the equivalent temperature required for pavement design and analyzing its impact on damage in the design criteria. In the long term, the aim is to move toward sustainable construction of airfield infrastructures to respond to the impacts of climate change.

The audience will learn:

  • Damage and lifespans versus current equivalent temperature. Study of the sensitivity of temperature on mechanical design
  • Evolution of pavement temperatures compared with global Earth temperatures
  • Presentation of the temperature databases in different pavement test areas: STAC (Bonneuil-sur-Marne) and Aéroport de Paris Orly
