Present Federal Aviation Administration policy does not recommend the use of lime-stabilized soil as base course for airport pavements. The potential savings in cost and materials by using this type of construction for light-duty airport pavements (aircraft gross weights less than 30,000 lbs) led to the use of lime-stabilized native soil in place of other base course materials at three airports in the Southwestern United States. Those airports are located at Chino, California, Big Bear Lake, California, and Payson, Arizona. The compositions of those base courses were determined by laboratory analyses of core borings and soil samples. Visual condition surveys were performed, and surface deflections under load were measured. Climatological data and aircraft traffic histories were obtained. All of those factors and the performance of the pavements were analyzed, and a suggested specification was prepared for constructing lime-stabilized base courses.
