A section of pavement on Runway 16L-34R at the new Denver airport has been instrumented to study static and dynamic strains, deflections, joint openings, temperature, frost penetration depth, and moisture values. Data acquistion is fully automated, and real-time data are to be simultaneously acquired by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Waterways Experiment Station (WES). Loading tests will be conducted with an instrumented Boeing 727, an F-15 load cart, a Dynatest heavy weight deflectomter (HWD), and several military aircraft. After the opening of the airport, loadings will be induced by commercial aircraft traffic. The instrumentation selected for monitoring the pavement response and the installation procedures are presented.
