Comparative analysis of the evaluation methods for the bearing capacity of unpaved soil pavements
摘要
Abstract
[Objective]Unpaved soil pavements at airstrips play a critical role in the operation of military transport aircraft,UAVs,and civil aircraft in remote and austere regions.Their bearing capacity determines their ability to support aircraft traffic,making their rapid testing and evaluation crucial for operational management.In-situ California bearing ratio(CBR)testing(typically using a dynamic cone penetrometer[DCP])and the Udarnik methods are currently used for bearing capacity assessments.The latter method is used in aircraft design methodologies,and the former is used in pavement design practices in China.Thus,the soil pavement evaluation metrics for aircraft design,as well as pavement construction and maintenance,are inconsistent.[Methods]Therefore,the theoretical foundations,testing equipment,and assessment procedures of both these methods were examined herein.Then,a comparative analysis was performed to evaluate their testing scope,implementation complexity,applicability,and utility of their evaluation metrics.Controlled laboratory experiments were conducted to establish a conversion relationship between the derived metrics.[Results]The key findings are as follows.(1)Both these methods were established in the 1940s-50s,primarily for light/medium aircraft.The Udarnik method could not efficiently determine the bearing capacity of heavy aircraft with complex landing gear.In contrast,the CBR method evolved from its original design curve approach to the CBR-α method and CBR-β method,adapting to the demands of modern heavy transport aircraft.(2)The Udarnik method only measured the overall average bearing capacity of the pavement structure within the top 30 cm depth and could not characterize values exceeding 16kgf/cm2.This limitation was incompatible with the high loads and frequent operation requirements of contemporary transport aircraft.The DCP measured CBR values up to 100 at a depth of 1 m and comprehensively characterized the pavement structural properties,as well as evaluated a wider range of bearing capacities.The Udarnik equipment was lighter and simpler to operate than the DCP;however,the DCP yielded highly accurate and more reliable results.The Udarnik method has limited applicability and is primarily used in Russia and Poland.In contrast,the DCP is widely used globally(including the US and China)within the military,civil aviation,highway,and railway sectors.The Udarnik method could only determine aircraft operational feasibility on a pavement but could not assess the permissible number of operations or provide specific pavement reinforcement requirements during infeasible operations.The CBR value obtained by the DCP enabled the assessment of the number of operations performed by an aircraft configuration(given tire pressure and load)on the existing pavement without maintenance.It also guided pavement reinforcement strategies when requirements were unmet,specifying necessary layer thickness and bearing capacity(CBR value).(3)For the silty clay used herein,the disparity between CBR and Udarnik values decreased as the soil bearing capacity increased.A logarithmic function effectively modeled the conversion relationship between these metrics,achieving a coefficient of determination(R2)greater than 0.93.[Conclusions]This finding suggested that the logarithmic function is a suitable model for CBR-Udarnik conversion;however,further research is required to determine if this relationship holds for other soil types.This study contributes to enhancing the operational support capabilities of military aircraft on unpaved surfaces.The findings offer valuable insights into the maintenance management evaluation of civil unpaved/turf airstrips,sightseeing airports,and unpaved areas within transport airports.关键词
