C2.01 - Airport Futurity
Full life cycle analysis of runway improvement.
Sponsor: Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Nigiel Lozano, Matthew Lancon, David Karr, Bianca Desouza
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Feng Hong & Dr. Felipe Gutierrez
Our team was prompted to address airport asset needs, so as a starting point we decided to use the San Marcos Regional Airport (SMRA) as a model for analysis for our project. An asset alternative analysis was performed, to which our group decided that runway pavement condition and performance should be addressed first. Life-cycle costs and sustainability analyses were performed shortly after to support the sustainable design of a runway overlay, with the primary goal of increasing traffic bearing capacity. Hypothetically, this would help the regional airport meet the needs of a feverishly expanding community, and incoming wealth. For Senior Design II, we plan to create a runway pavement system design and an asphalt mix design for SMRA Runway 13/31.
