Flexible Airport Pavement Analyses and Innovative Aggregate Crushing Techniques

This project focuses on flexible airport pavement analyses, comparing full-scale and gyratory data to evaluate field energy and compaction techniques. It includes conducting triaxial tests on various sands to measure the impact of aggregate crushing on shear strength while assessing the influence of sample length. Additionally, the project emphasizes collaboration with the FAA, continuous analysis, and publication efforts. Future work involves using laser technology to analyze aggregate properties, enhancing sustainable solutions in engineering innovations for water turbine development in the developing world.
