Selected fill Sub-grade220mm sand CBR 10 compacted to 96% MMDD.clay nominal CBR 6 compacted to a depth of 150mm to 95% MMDDThe original pavement design aircraft was the Fokker F27 with an all up weight of 20,000kg at atyre pressure of 550kPa and a 15 year life design life.5.6.2 Design BasisNormally at the end of the design life, it is not expected that an existing pavement would requirereplacement or even tyning up and re-compacting. Certainly, there is no evidence that suchradical treatment would be required anywhere on the <strong>Kingscote</strong> Runway 01 / 19. Accordingly, forthe design of overlays for upgraded pavements a minimum CBR of 35 has been adopted for theexisting sub-base pavement material (that is the material 150mm to 300mm below the existingsurface level.Similarly, for areas of new pavement, it has been assumed that the pavement structure willcomprise a selected fill layer of CBR 10 sand, a sub-base of CBR 35 pit rubble and a basecourse (assumed soaked CBR of 60-80).The following lists details the possible design aircraft and the required pavement thickness forthe various CBRs in the existing pavement structure.AircraftMax WeightkgTyrePressureKPaPavementthicknessmm on CBR 6Pavementthicknessmm on CBR10Pavementthicknessmm on CBR35ACN (6)BAe 146 2 40,600 880 593 436 175 24B737 800 79,243 1413 797 568 270 51Dash 8 400 29,347 972 510 370 160 18EMB 190 50,460 1014 640 470 203 30Fokker F27 F50 20,412 580 433 310 116 12Fokker F100 44,680 980 655 483 196 30NOTESPavement comprises subgrade CBR 6, sub-base CBR 10 and base CBR 35Design thickness based on 1200 annual departuresCOMFAA assumes BC surface layer (not used in Australia other than heavy jet pavements)For heavy aircraft 75mm BC surface layer at 1.5 equivalency, 38mm added to COMFAA result5.6.3 Indicative Pavement Thickness and Surfacing TreatmentsNew PavementsBased on the above requirements, the adopted design for new pavements (i.e. runwaylengthening and widening) for the future airport development scenarios are as set out in Table5-1:Ref No. 20120935DR1A <strong>Kingscote</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> Infrastructure Study Report 12
