FAARFIELD 1.3
Pavement thickness is now computed for constant tire contact area.
Changing the airplane gross weight causes the tire pressure to be adjusted to maintain the contact area.
E External t l aircraft i ft lib library in i XML format. f t Displays CDF values graphically. Enhanced Airplane Data window now displays gear coordinates. base Support for PCC over rubblized base. Aircraft changed to Airplane(s).

Structure Window
For each structural layer:
Material type (FAA specification) Layer Thickness Modulus or R-value (if applicable)
Ai l Airplane Window Wi d
Select airplane from library. For each airplane in the mix:
Aircraft Name Gross Taxi Weight Annual departures and percent annual growth if applicable
There are built-in restrictions on the layer types, including relative position and layer properties. For subgrade, can enter CBR or k and FAARFIELD will convert to E.

LU = number of years of operation of the existing pavement until overlay LD = design life of the existing pavement in years
FAARFIELD modifies this relationship for stabilized subbases to reflect improved performance.
