INTRODUCTION
Volume 2 Exhibit D Special Specifications Part DI Employers Requirements
details the following salient consideration for the airfield pavements:
1.

The pavement design for the various airfield elements shall comply with the
Federal Aviation Administration FAA standards and proposed practices.

2.

For flexible pavement type - layered flexible pavement shall be considered


including the following exclusive succession of layers from top to bottom:
bituminous concrete surface course, tack coat, bituminous base course,

courses, compacted subgrade, and natural subgrade etc.

3.

For rigid pavement - jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) shall be


considered with adequately spaced contraction joints, while using dowel
bars for load transfer across joints (it is assumed that dowelling is only in
one direction). Jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP) shall be used
only when odd shaped slabs are encountered. For the rigid Jointed Plain
Concrete Pavement, layered rigid pavement shall be considered including
the following exclusive succession of layers from top to bottom: Portland
Cement Concrete Slab, cement or asphalt treated base course, unbound

BASIS OF DESIGN

3.2.1

Overview
The pavement design for the aircraft pavements associated with the development
of the Saudi Aerospace Engineering Industries Aircraft Maintenance Hangars,
Jeddah - individual hangar pavements, external apron, Taxiway MA and Taxilane
LB, has considered a range of factors including:
The existing site conditions
Existing subsoil conditions
Proposed operating conditions
Current and proposed aircraft types
Aircraft wheel and body jacks
Aircraft tugs
Emergency service vehicles
Concrete strength
This report presents a summary of the key assumptions and input data used to
develop the designs for the individual hangar pavements, external apron,
Taxiway MA and Taxilane LB in terms of:
Aircraft loads
Aircraft tug loads and operating frequency
Aircraft jacking operations
Frequency of operations
Subsoil strength
Concrete strength (for rigid) pavements
Emergency service vehicle loads and operating frequency
A number of design scenarios have been considered in developing the pavement
thicknesses. These design scenarios were undertaken to test the sensitivity of
the pavement thickness for both rigid and flexible pavements to variations in the
design assumptions in terms of:
Frequency of aircraft operations
Frequency of jacking operations
Subsoil strength

The results of the individual analyses are summarized in this report, while
complete details are included in Appendices C and D.
3.2.2

Pavement Types
Flexible Pavements
Flexible pavements generally consist of a dense, hot mix asphalt surfacing
placed on an unbound crushed aggregate base and/or aggregate sub-base
courses), and the pavement is then supported by the subgrade. The design for
Saudi Aerospace Engineering Industries Aircraft Maintenance Hangars is being
carried out using the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) design program FAARFIELD, used in conjunction with the
FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5320-6E. This AC includes guideline
requirements for the various materials for the pavement layers. Where the AC
requires engineering judgement regarding the material to be used this is detailed
and justification for the choices made is given.
For flexible pavement design, FAARFIELD uses the maximum vertical strain at
the top of the subgrade and the maximum horizontal strain at the bottom of the
asphalt surface layer as the predictors of pavement structural life. FAARFIELD
provides the required thickness for all individual layers of flexible pavement (in
this case surface, base and sub-base) needed to support a given aircraft traffic
mix over a particular subgrade for the given design period.
Rigid Pavements
The basic composition of an airfield rigid pavement is a Portland cement concrete,
PCC (which is often referred to as Pavement Quality Concrete PQC), on a
granular or stabilised sub-base supported on the in-situ subgrade after suitable
compaction. The purpose of a base course under a rigid pavement is to provide
uniform stable support for the pavement slabs, and support across the joints. A
minimum thickness of 100mm of base is required under all rigid pavements.
According to FAA, stabilized materials are required for a base course under rigid
pavements serving airplanes weighing 45,359kg or more to improve load transfer
across joint lines and reduce pumping type erosion effects due to flexure of the
slabs at the joint lines.
For rigid pavement design, FAARFIELD uses the maximum horizontal stress at
the bottom edge of the PQC slab as the predictor of pavement structural life. The
maximum horizontal stress for design is determined using an edge loading
condition with approximately 30% load transfer to the adjacent slab.
Once load transfer exceeds 40% across a joint line the interior thickness of the
slab then becomes the critical element. Localised thickened edges are required
at transitions from concrete to asphaltic surfacing or at box outs for manholes,
service pit, grated drains, etc. FAARFIELD provides the required thickness of the
rigid pavement slab needed to support a given aircraft traffic mix over a particular
subgrade/base course for the given design period. The life of the concrete
surfacing is very sensitive to changes in slab thickness, and the stiffness of the
immediate supporting layer.

The required thickness of concrete pavement is related to the strength of the


concrete used for construction of the pavement. For airfield pavement design, the
strength of the concrete is characterized by the flexural strength (since the
primary action and failure mode of a concrete pavement is in flexure), rather than
the more commonly used unconfined crushing strength tests (UCS) associated
with building works.
The construction of rigid pavements will be done in slabs which are as square as
possible, and with joints spaced to minimize the warping stresses that occur due
to variations in temperature and moisture. These joints also act to minimize
random cracking. Slab thickness relates to joint spacing with slabs typically being
jointed at between 4.5 and 5.0m (slab size is a ratio of typically 12-15 times the
slab thickness).
In the direction of paving, joints will be saw-cut across the paving lane when the
concrete has reached sufficient strength (contraction joints). This will act to
induce cracking of the pavement at these locations. In the transverse direction,
joints will be dowelled to ensure effective load transfer across the joints (dowelled
construction joints).
Pavement Joints
Pavement joints and transitions are of particular importance in a successful
pavement design, especially for airports where maintenance access is often
difficult. Areas adjacent to structures (e.g. drainage channels, pits, manholes, etc.)
can be subject to differential settlement issues and these need to be designed
out where possible. Transitions from rigid to flexible pavement are also a
common area of concern. Our design addresses such issues by presenting our
detailed jointing and transition details.
3.2.3

Aircraft Types and Masses


The range of aircraft assumed to be accessing the aircraft maintenance facility
and individual hangars are summarised in Table 3.1. The aircraft mix assumed in
the initial pavement designs was based on the information contained in the
Tender Documents. Specifically, Drawings PD-APR-TR-005, PD-APR-TR-006,
PD-GD-A-003 and PD-G-AD-100 to 103 indicated a range of aircraft types in the
each hangar.
Following a tender query, Notice to Tenderers No 11 provided the following
clarification in relation to aircraft types:
The intent is to service the combination of aircraft shown in each hangar. The
design is driven by limitations in adjustability of work docks between aircraft types.
1.

Line maintenance hangars shall receive all types of aircrafts.

2.

Wide body heavy maintenance hangars shall be designed to receive all


wide body aircrafts except the A380.

3.

Narrow body heavy maintenance hangars shall be designed to receive all


narrow body aircrafts.

5.

Wide body paint and wash hangars shall be designed to receive all wide
and narrow body aircrafts except the A380.

6.

A380 paint and wash hangars shall be designed to receive all types of
aircrafts.

The pavement thickness designs as presented in subsequent sections are based


on the aircraft indicated in Table 3.1.
The design criteria for the pavements associated with the aircraft maintenance
facility is based on the aircraft at operating empty weight (OEW) with provision for
varying amounts of fuel.
The internal pavements of the paint hangars, wash hangars and heavy
maintenance hangars are based on operating empty weight (OEW) + 10%
fuel.
The internal pavements of the line maintenance hangars are based on
operating empty weight (OEW) + 50% fuel.
The aircraft parking apron is based on the aircraft arriving at the
maintenance facility at operating empty weight + 50% fuel, prior to being
de-fuelled and moved into the hangars.
Departing aircraft are assumed to be at operating empty weight + 50% fuel
following refuelling.
Table 3.2 provides a summary of a range of masses for individual aircraft.

The initial pavement designs were based on a range of assumptions regarding
the frequency of aircraft jacking in each of the hangars.
Following a tender query, Notice to Tenderers No 11 provided the following

support typical line maintenance activity.
Heavy maintenance hangars are expected to be fully occupies with aircraft in C
and D checks. As such, aircraft are likely to be in the narrow hangars for 20-40
days and in the widebody hangars for 30-45 days. Assume a regular cycle of
aircraft in and out of each hangar bay on that schedule.
Aircraft will be in the paint hangar for approximately 6 days, and assume a
regular cycle of aircraft in and out of that hangar on the schedule. The wash
hangar is less regularly scheduled, but assume it is used daily. The designers are

The wheel jacking loads have been determined by adopting the proposed aircraft
design loads, the percentage of the design aircraft mass on the landing gears
and the number of wheel jacking points on the undercarriages of the individual
aircraft.
The distribution of the wheel jacking operations has been assumed as distributed
as 80% on the main undercarriage (split 50/50 each side) and 20% on the nose
wheel.
For aircraft with a centre main landing gear, the distribution of the wheel jacking
operations has been assumed as distributed as 30% on the each of the main
landing gears, 25% on the centre landing gear and 15% on the nose wheel.
3.2.7

Aircraft Tug
The following tender query has been raised in relation to aircraft tugs, the
clarification of which is pending.
In addition to the data on fire tenders and other emergency vehicles (RFI Register No
28), additionally we require details of the aircraft tugs likely to be used by Saudi
Aerospace.

The following data related to the aircraft tug has been assumed for the
development of the pavement design for the hangars pending clarification of the
tender query:
Wide Body Aircraft
The assumed operating mass of the tug is 50,000kg.
The assumed operating tyre pressure is 520kPa.
Movements are based on four (4) movements (on average) in and around the
hangar per aircraft.
Narrow Body Aircraft
The assumed operating mass of the tug is 30,000kg.
The assumed operating tyre pressure is 520kPa.
Movements are based on four (4) movements (on average) in and around the
hangar per aircraft.

Emergency Service Vehicles


The following tender query has been raised in relation to emergency services
vehicles, the clarification of which is pending.
Please provide details of the fire tenders and other emergency service vehicles currently
operating at KAIA.

The following data related to the emergency services vehicles has been assumed
for the development of the pavement design for the hangars pending clarification
of the tender query:
The emergency services vehicle is assumed to be a 6 wheel Panther or
similar.
The assumed operating mass of the emergency service vehicle is 40,000kg.
The assumed operating tyre pressure is 1,000kPa.
3.2.9

Subgrade Strength
As discussed in Section 2, the pavement design is based on a CBR of 15%. The
sensitivity of pavement thickness to a reduction in the CBR has been assessed
with CBR 10%.
The rigid pavements are designed for a modulus of subgrade reaction, equivalent
to CBR 15%. The modulus of subgrade reaction, or k value, can be calculated
approximately from the CBR value using the equation:
k = (1500 x CBR/26)0.7788
This gives a value in pci (pounds per cubic inch). For the 15% CBR, the k value is
calculated as 194 pci, which converts to 52.4 MN/m3. Similarly, the modulus of
subgrade reaction equivalent to a CBR of 10% is 38.4 MN/m3.
This report has been prepared on the basis of construction of the fill embankment
to provide a stable, uniform subgrade with an equivalent minimum CBR of 15%.
Insitu testing will be required to confirm that such works have been completed as
specified prior to pavement works commencing.

3.2.10

Concrete Strength
The specification (Section 321313) issued with the Tender Documents nominates
a design flexural strength of 4.6 MPa at 28 days.
Load transfer will take place through the provision of dowel bars through the
doweled construction joints and sawn contraction joints.

3.2.11

Design Period
The design period for the pavements (both rigid and flexible) has been assumed
as 30 years.

PAVEMENT DESIGNS

3.3.1

Taxiway MA
Taxiway Pavement
All aircraft entering or leaving the facility will access Taxiway MA, entering the
apron initially. Aircraft are assumed to enter the taxiway at OEW + 50% fuel and
park on the apron. Aircraft are assumed to leave the apron (departing the
maintenance facility) at OEW + 50% fuel.
The exception to this is the length of taxiway to the paint hangars and wash
hangars. The aircraft using this portion of the taxiway are assumed to be at OEW
+ 10% fuel maximum.
To simplify the analysis at this stage, a uniform pavement thickness is proposed
for Taxiway MA along its length.
The total number of aircraft entering the facility on an annual basis is derived
from the annual usage of each of the maintenance hangars annually. These
same aircraft are assumed to leave the facility annually.
The previous pavement design proposed a pavement structure of 60mm PMB on
60mm Binder Course on 200mm CABC on 250mm CASBC based on the
assumptions made at the time.
Based on the clarifications in Notice to Tenderers No 11, the pavements have
been redesigned. Table 3.5a provides the pavement thickness requirements for
varying subgrade strengths and operational scenarios.

A pavement structure of 60mm PMB on 60mm Binder Course on 200mm CABC


on 350mm CASBC is proposed for Taxiway MA at this time bearing in mind the
assumptions being made. This pavement structure would seem to cover a range
of potential operating scenarios. The proposed pavement extent is indicated on
Drawing SK001.
Shoulder Pavement
The shoulder to Taxiway MA is to be designed for occasional aircraft traffic as per
the Employers Requirements, in addition to use by emergency service vehicles.
Aircraft are assumed to operate on Taxiway MA at OEW + 50% fuel.
