Difference between Pavement Thickness Design and Pavement Life Prediction for Rigid Aircraft Pavements

open access: yesDesigns, 2022
Aircraft pavements are generally designed using deterministic methods and using conservatively selected input parameter values, which combine to result in a low probability of structural failure occurring during the structural design life of the pavement.
