Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), the world's fourth busiest airport, is owned and operated by the City of Phoenix. The City's Aviation Department decided to replace the bituminous concrete pavement on Runway 8-26 with Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement. As PHX is the busiest three-runway airport in the world, the runway needed to remain operational during reconstruction. This paper will discuss the materials and procedures employed to meet a number of operational and construction challenges associated with the project.
