Analysis and discussion on impact factor to asphalt pavement roughness of airport Shi Baohua1,a，Zhang Yamen 1,b，Sun Tao2，Wang yongjie 2 1.School of engineering,Airforce Engineering University Xi’an 710038,Shanxi,China; 2.Airfield and Barracks quarters section,logistics department,Jinan Air force,Jinan 250000,Shandong,China a.email:sbh12345@126.com; b.451417264@qq.com Keyword: Airport, asphalt pavement, roughness, cause, impact factor Abstract: According to requirement of operation safety and comfort of airplane on the asphalt pavement of airport, the cause incurring unevenness is discussed subject to aspects of inherent unevenness of pavement, unsatisfied construction equipment and process, repeated action of airplane load during utilization process, and long term action of natural factors, etc; aiming at the requirement on how to improve the airport construction quality and guarantee asphalt pavement roughness, and on the basis of engineering examples of bad roughness of asphalt
Civil aviation Qingyang Airport was built in 1980s, since the runway grade is fairly low, and due to the problems of bad roughness, the coverage and coverage extension was respectively performed on the previous runway on 2004 and 2011.
Through investigation, survey and research on Qingyang Airport in combination with analysis on situation of north west A airport and north east B airport, the cause incurring unevenness of asphalt pavement of airport has various factors, such as drainage requirement of pavement, repeated action of airplane load, and long term action of natural factors, as well as the unsatisfied construction process. 2.1 Inherent unevenness of pavement of airport The civil aviation airport is mostly built in the flat ground in the circumference of city, while the military airport is built in the area in need of fighting, nevertheless the airport is built on the land irrespective of military or civil airport.
According to investigation report of engineering geology, and after the details treatment proposal and construction requirement of earth foundation are provided, the quality control of construction process is the key link.
The engineering practice shows that, if the base course roughness is not good, the roughness of asphalt topping shall be very hard to reach requirement.

Since always, civil aviation airport`s freight traffic volume prediction stays in the average growth rate method [2] and grey model [3], While those methods are just according to the airport `s freight traffic volume of data over their predictive, its error is too large and precision is low.

In recent years, there has been mounting interest in the use of recyled tire rubbers in engineering construction.
But these methods can not be applied widely in practical engineering because of its high cost and difficult operation.
(3) The results calculated by Eq.14 have good aggrement with the experimental results obtained by other researchers, which indicates that the formula has certain applicability and accuracy which satisfies engineering requirement.
