Some 40 commercial and military airports are presently using interlocking concrete pavements. As with conventional pavements, technical knowledge and experience with interlocking concrete pavements have developed through testing, trial and error to accepted design methods, specifications, and construction practices, with concrete payers now being used successfully world wide as aircraft pavements. The components of interlocking concrete pavements are presented with a history of design and construction practices. Selected projects benchmark development of accepted practices. A substantial cost savings from this pavement system provides an incentive for agencies, airport owners, and engineers to compare its cost-effectiveness to asphalt and concrete. As future steps in development, the US Federal Aviation Administration may consider full-scale testing at the National Airport Pavement Test Facility to more accurately quantify the structural contribution of concrete pavers to airfield pavements. In addition, it may consider developing an Advisory Circular to synthesize the literature and experience by other federal agencies, airport authorities, and airfield pavement engineers.
