dc.description.abstractOverlays for airfield pavements are one of the cost effective and efficient pavement rehabilitation options. In this study, the Federal Aviation Administration’s state-of-the-art mechanistic-empirical overlay design methodology (FAARFIELD) was explained, design examples using FAARFIELD version 1.42. for both concrete and asphalt overlays were presented, and the results of these examples were compared. For the overlay design scenarios on existing asphalt surface layers, it was found that, overlay thickness decreases, as existing asphalt surface layer thickness increases, and calculated concrete overlay thicknesses were higher than calculated asphalt overlay thicknesses for the same existing asphalt surface layer thicknesses. On the other hand, for the overlay design scenarios on existing concrete surface layers, both asphalt and concrete overlay thicknesses were found to be very similar to each other. Based on FAARFIELD-calculated overlay thicknesses, an economic analysis was carried out to find out the most economic overlay design options for a variety of design scenarios. Although for some overlay cases concrete overlay design thicknesses were found to be higher than asphalt overlay design thickness, cost of concrete overlays was found to be less than that of asphalt overlays. This is because unit cost for concrete materials is less than that for asphalt materials. Incorporating a state-ofthe-art mechanistic-empirical overlay design for airfield overlay pavements as well as considering local cost in the economic analysis to determine which type of overlay would be a more suitable option for a variety of pavement design cases would be very beneficial to Turkish airfield pavement design practices.
