Abstract
To construct the highly durable pavement is very important in airport asphalt pavements, because the pavement has to support nearly 400tf of aircraft weight. It is effective for this case to use the asphalt mixture that has a high stability in the surface and/or binder course, and one of promising mixtures is the large stone asphalt mixture. In this paper, applicability of the large stone asphalt mixture in the surface and/or binder course of airport asphalt pavement was evaluated by carrying out laboratory tests and field loading test. From the discussion of test results, it was confirmed that if the maximum size of aggregate is about 30mm the large stone asphalt mixture could be applied in the surface course and/or binder course.
