 | The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) began a 6-year comprehensive research, development, and demonstration program in 2002 entitled the Joint Rapid Airfield Construction (JRAC) program. The JRAC program is focused on providing engineering tools and systems that will dramatically increase the U.S. military's contingency airfield upgrade and construction capabilities. One project within the JRAC program is entitled "Rapid MOG enhancement Technologies." The term MOG refers to the ... |

|
| Resin modified pavement (RMP) is a composite pavement surfacing that uses a unique combination of asphalt concrete (AC) and portland cement concrete (PCC) materials in the same layer. The RMP material is generally described as an open-graded asphalt concrete mixture containing 25- to 35-percent voids which are filled with a resin modified portland cement grout. The RMP layer is typically 50 mm (2 in.) thick and has a surface appearance ... |

|
| Asphalt rubber concrete pavements include at least two types of flexible pavement surfacings made with asphalt rubber cement as the binder, stone mastic and open-graded mixtures. The asphalt rubber binder generally contains 15-25 percent recycled scrap tire rubber blended with standard paving grade asphalt cement. Asphalt rubber concrete pavements are applicable to virtually any flexible pavement surfacing requirement, providing such performance benefits as reduced temperature susceptibility, reduced low- temperature cracking ... |

|
| This report documents an investigation that evaluated the performance of special graded asphalt cements in airfield pavements subjected to extreme cold conditions. The study included a literature review, pavement inspections, and laboratory testing of the field samples. The basis of this study was to determine whether arctic grade asphalt cements minimized the amount and severity of low-temperature cracking. Three locations were chosen for the field evaluation: Wainwright Army Airfield, Alaska; ... |

|
 | An airfield pavement investigation was performed in January 1994 at Yap International Airport, Yap Island, Federated States of Micronesia, to determine the causes of premature pavement failures. Field testing included a pavement condition survey, dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) tests, in situ water content measurements, and a drainage investigation. Laboratory testing included gradation and asphalt content tests on the asphalt concrete, and sieve analysis, Los Angeles Abrasion, Atterburg limits, and soaked ... |

|
| A new paving process known as resin modified pavement (RMP) was used in the airfield repair project at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The RMP is a composite paving material that combines the flexible characteristics of an asphalt concrete material with the durability of a portland cement concrete pavement. This paving process was developed by the French construction company Jean Lefebvre as a cost-effective alternative to portland cement concrete. The RMP is ... |

|
| The US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) was tasked to evaluate the current state of the art of the resin modified pavement (PMP). This type of pavement is best described as a semirigid, semiflexible pavement. The RMP is basically an open-graded asphalt concrete mixture that contains 25 to 30 percent voids which are later filled with a resin modified cement slurry grout. The RMP is a tough and durable ... |
