Product Gallery: AAPTP Releases New Guidance on Asphalt Binder Selection for Airfield Pavements

The Asphalt Airport Pavement Technology Program (AAPTP) released in July 2024 its “Guidance for Selection of Proper Asphalt Binder Grade” (AIR-002, July 1, 2024).

The AAPTP is a cooperative agreement effort between the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Together, the associations work to advance the positive use of asphalt with “21st-century solutions for asphalt pavement design, construction, and materials deemed important to airfield reliability, efficiency, and safety with the overarching goal to keep America moving forward,” according to NAPA’s website. The “new” report is available for download here. It is designed to assist owners/agencies in simplifying the asphalt binder selection process for airfield flexible pavement designs. A web-based tool is in development.
