With limited land availability and increased awareness of environmental issues, Japan has had to construct many airports on reclaimed land in recent years. Such sites generally have a higher ground-water table than elsewhere, leading to frequent moisture-related damages in airport pavements. In response to this situation, a number of countermeasures to improve pavement design in terms of structure and materials were developed based on laboratory tests and a study of experimental pavements: properly reducing the design CBR of the subgrade, using asphalt-stabilized material for the base, and installing a drainage system around the pavement. These improvements were implemented in the construction of runway C at Tokyo Haneda International Airport. Through a 10-yearservice, the pavement was continuously monitored in terms of loading capacity and surface conditions (cracking, rutting, and roughness). The results were reported and analyzed in this paper, indicating that the above countermeasures effectively suppress moisture-induced damages and achieve a water-resistant airport pavement.
