Abstract
Water can cause increasingly severe damage to airport pavements as the magnitude and number of aircraft loads increase. A water drainage system can extend pavement life and is recommended for heavyduty airport pavements. Characteristics of permeable asphalt base mixtures and porous asphalt surface mixtures, which are used to remove rainwater from pavement, were studied in laboratory tests. As a result, the applicability of both materials for airport pavements was fully confirmed.
