Pavement Rehabilitation of Runway 14/32 at Zürich International Airport: Service Life Prediction Based on Updated Incremental Damage Approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Zurich International Airport operates with three runways: 16/34, 14/32, and 10/28. The pavement of runway 14/32 has reached its end of service life and should be rehabilitated soon. The old pavement structure consists of concrete slabs on a cement treated base. The 30-cm thick concrete pavement will be replaced with a 35-cm thick asphalt layer during rehabilitation. The service life of the proposed rehabilitation design has been analyzed adopting a new mechanistic empirical method based on the AASHTO 2008 design guide, although some improvements have been implemented: 1) three-dimensional finite element modeling (FE) with an elasto-plastic strain hardening material behavior model for the subgrade and 2) an iterative procedure that allows application of damage incrementally to asphalt and cement-treated material in an updated FE model. The method has been calibrated with results from deflection tests carried out in the 1970s on an asphalt test track and validated through deflection measurements carried out on runway 16/34, which was rehabilitated in 2008 with a similar asphalt overlay.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
