Early Mix Design
(1940-1960)
• Dominated by World War II.
• 1950’s Most Prevalent Systems, developed by:
• Francis Hveem
• Bruce Marshall
• Others:
• Hubbard-Field, Smith Triaxial, & Texas Gyratory

SHRP
5 years to boldly go where…
• 1987, United States Congress authorized
the Strategic Highway Research Program
• 1987, Focus on asphalt binder research
• 1990, Expanded to include research on mix

SHRP
• 5-year program (1987-1993)
• $150 million on highway research
• Asphalt ($50 million)
• Concrete and construction
• Highway operation
• Long-term pavement performance
And many others….

Airport Configuration
• Airport configuration is defined as the number
and orientation of runways and the location of
the terminal area relative to the runways.
• Number of runways depends on air traffic volume.
• Orientation of runways depends on the direction of
wind, size and shape of the area and land use and
airspace use restrictions in the vicinity of airport.
• The terminal building should be located so as to
provide easy and timely access to runways.
