ABSTRACT

The results from a Traffic Speed Deflectometer (TSD) measurement campaign in Copenhagen airport are presented. The structural condition was measured with high spatial resolution on one runway with flexible pavement and one runway with concrete slabs overlaid with asphalt. The runway with flexible pavement had a high stiffness, and comparisons with HWD measurements showed a good agreement between TSD measurements and HWD measurements. On the runway with asphalt overlaid concrete slabs, the joint movement was quantified based on the TSD measurements. This revealed areas with comparatively high joint movement, which could be susceptible to reflective cracking of the asphalt layer. A total of 189 km runway was measured in four hours.
