Airport Pavements: ACN-PCN Methodology

This lecture covers the ACN-PCN methodology used in airport pavement design, focusing on the relationship between aircraft load and pavement strength. The instructor explains how ACN and PCN values are determined, the impact of different pavement types and soil conditions, and the implications for aircraft landing and takeoff. The lecture also delves into practical examples, such as calculating ACN values for different aircraft types and evaluating the compatibility between aircraft and runway conditions. Additionally, the instructor provides insights into the upcoming exam format, emphasizing the importance of understanding theoretical concepts and practical applications in airport pavement engineering.
