Abstract

Airports are one of the most important critical centers invaded by the enemy during wars. Therefore, in critical circumstances, the need for rapid development of the airport in order to operate fighter aircraft, military strikes, the transfer of military equipment and manpower and other factors is necessary. This study examines the materials, technologies, and manufacturing methods that have been used to construct the airport so far. For this purpose, rapid soil analysis, rapid quality assurance of soil, requirements for designing aggregate-surfaced airfield pavements, rapid soil stabilization methods for use in the rapid construction of airport pavement, application of the matting systems in rapid construction and development of the helipads, airfield parking ramps and taxiways, runway, hanger, remote pilot aircraft, as well as the feasibility of using cold asphalt mixtures in the rapid construction of airfield parking ramps and taxiways and factors affecting the rutting resistance of cold asphalt mixtures is assessed.
