A TECHNIQUE OF ESTIMATION OF TECHNICAL CONDITION OF RIGID AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF RISK THEORY

Problem statement. To provide for safe takeoff and landing of modern aviation complexes, specialattention is given to technical condition of artificial pavements of runways which can be serviceableor faulty, efficient or limiting. Available standard methods of an expeditious estimation of an operational-technical condition of airfield pavements are based on general principles of defect graduationand of definition of integrated total generalized indicator of pavement condition and often yield theresults contradicting each other, which complicate making decision in relation to operation.Results and conclusions. The classification of linear constructions of airfields by responsibilitylevel is proposed. Theoretical basics and practical recommendations on estimation of a technicalcondition of rigid airfield pavements by permissible level of are formulated with respect to level ofrisk with the use of principals of reliability theory and of risk theory. The recommendations proposedrest on new principles of technical regulation established by Federal Law N 184-FZ “Ontechnical regulation”.
