CONT

Aircraft reaction on flexible pavements follows the same basic pattern adopted for rigid pavement design and evaluation. In this case a four pavement model is analysed using the States Corps of Engineers' development of the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) method. This includes Boussinesq deflection factors and takes into account interaction between adjacent landing gear wheel assemblies up to 20 radii distance.

CONT

La distribution de la charge des avions sur les chaussées souples est fondamentalement la même que celle qui a été adoptée pour la conception et l'évaluation des chaussées rigides. Dans le cas présent, on analyse un modèle à quatre couches en utilisant l'indice portant californien (CBR) mis au point par l'United States Corps of Engineers. Cette méthode fait appel aux facteurs de déflexion de Boussinesq et tient compte de l'interaction entre les atterrisseurs adjacents jusqu'à une distance égale à vingt fois le rayon.
