See lessWhat is the difference between Highway and Airfield pavement?
Vivek Patel
Comparison of both is Highway pavement Cost is low. Less toughness compare to airfield. Design load is less. Less hardness compare to airfield. Compare to airfield, less construction cost and design cost. Length of Highway payment is very high. Airfield pavement Cost is high. High toughness need. DeRead more
Comparison of both is
Highway pavement
Airfield pavement
- Cost is high.
- High toughness need.
- Design load is very High
- Need higher resistant to wear and tear due to aircraft trust.
- Design cost and material cost is high due to rigid specifications and high level of construction practice.
- Length of airfield pavement is less compare to Highway pavement.

Vivek Patel
T beam is used in frame structure or any special structure. If the load is low, then we should use a single RC beam. If load is intermediate, then we should use a double RC beam. If the load is very high, then we should use the T beam at the intermediate beam and L beam at the edge.
