Does anyone have a reference book online for how a runway is constructed. was just wondering the difference in depth between a run way for 2000kg aircraft v 50,ooo kg aircraft and say an international A380 runway.
Interestingly I worked on a runway project on 16R at YSSY some years ago. The saw cutter on the project said they must have used some damn good asphalt when it was laid in the mid 70's as it was as hard as granite and he was going expensive diamond tipped drill bits at 10 x the normal rate.
