**Airport Pavement Roughness Issues: Current Status**

Atlanta, GA; December 5, 2006; 8:30AM to 12:00

Moderator: Mr. Tom Yager, NASA Langley

1\. Rodney Joel, FAA

"Roughness from the FAA Perspective"

The FAA has controlled roughness on newly constructed airfield pavements
by adhering to surface grade tolerances provided in AC 150/5300-13,
Airport Design, and construction tolerances provided in AC 150/5370-10B,
Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports. When observed, these
criteria produce airfield pavements that have historically produced
satisfactorily smooth pavements. The FAA is pursuing new technology to
evaluate and quantify the impact an existing pavement profile may have
on a given airplane or group of airplanes. Close interval profile data
can be analyzed against the existing design and construction criteria as
well as short and long wavelength criteria. Parameters similar to the
IRI criteria established for the highway industry appear to be plausible
for use on airfields

2\. Michael J. Roginski, Boeing

\"Boeing Runway Roughness Criteria\"

Runway roughness has often been a misunderstood and evasive issue among
airports in regards to how it should be accounted for in pavement
management programs as well as to how it affects aircraft

operations. The Boeing Criteria for runway roughness is a simple method
that has been utilized for over 30 years and allows airports to make
rational decisions as to the best course of action to take in resolving

roughness issues typically first encountered by pilot complaints. The
presentation will discuss the historical background and details of the
Boeing bump criteria, profile measuring technique, as well as actual
case study examples.

3\. Jack Hagelin, Boeing

\"Aircraft Dynamic Response Due to Runway Roughness\"

Presentation will cover basic areas of concern for aircraft loading due
to ground operations on rough runways. This includes limit design loads,
fatigue loads, and main gear truck pitch response. Will also

discuss advantages and disadvantages of various methods of evaluating
runway profiles prior to dynamic analysis.

4\. Tony Gerardi, APR consultants

"Airport Pavement Roughness - Gaps in the Industry"

The primary reason we strive to build and maintain smooth airport
pavements is to minimize aircraft dynamic response. Rough pavements
degrade aircraft performance and reduce the useful life of the aircraft
and the pavement. The interaction between an aircraft and the pavement
is a complex science. The science of airport pavement roughness is
continuously evolving as well as the science of airport pavement
management. Working in this field has allowed APR Consultants to
recognize some of the gaps currently facing the industry.

 

5\. Gordon Hayhoe, FAA

"Overview of the ProFAA Software for Roughness Analysis"

The ProFAA computer program was developed to analyze airport pavement
elevation profiles. Simulation models for four aircraft are included:
DC-9, B727, DC-10, and B747. The simulation models include
representations of rigid body motion and linearly flexible body and wing
modes. The motion of the tire-to-pavement contact points are derived
from the input profile data. Currently, the same profile is applied to
all struts (body, where applicable, wing, and nose gear) and the two
active rigid body degrees of freedom are bounce and pitch. The next most
complex part of the simulation models is the strut model. The tire
models assume that all tires on a particular gear are lumped at the end
of the strut. The various features of ProFAA will be demonstrated and a
summary of index values found from airport pavement profiles measured at
a number of airports will be presented.
