FACILITY REQUIREMENTS <br />3.5.3.4Runway Widths <br />Runway 16R-34L is 150 feet wide with 25 foot paved shoulders. Runway 16L-34R is 150 feet wide with 10 <br />foot paved shoulders. As detailed in Table 3-7, both runways have sufficient width for meeting FAA <br />runway standards for ADG III aircraft, however, 25 foot paved shoulders on Runway 16L-34R are <br />recommended by FAA to fully meet ADG III standards. When constructing the 25 foot paved shoulders to <br />meet FAA standards, the feasibility of using warm mix asphalt should be evaluated against using hot mix <br />asphalt. Warm mix asphalt lowers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as other criteria air pollutant <br />7 <br />emissions by up to 20 to 60 percent over hot mix asphalt. <br /> Warm mix asphalt lowers the temperature for <br />which asphalt is both produced and placed on the airfield. Warm mix asphalt can be used in any climate <br />making it a viable option for Eugene Airport. <br /> <br />TABLE 3-7 <br />RUNWAY WIDTH REQUIREMENTS <br />ADG IIIRunwayMeetsRunwayMeets <br />Requirement16R-34LRequirement ()16L-34RRequirement () <br />Width150'150'150' <br />Shoulders25'25'10'X <br /> Source: Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A Change 1, Airport Design <br /> <br />3.5.3.5Runway Strength <br />Pavement strength is an important criterion in determining the usability of the airfield. General aviation <br />aircraft weights range from 2,000 to 50,000 pounds and often have a single wheel gear (SWG) <br />configuration. Aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of more than 20,000 pounds typically have a dual- <br />wheel gear (DWG) configuration. Air carrier turboprop and regional jet aircraft range from 22,000 to <br />85,000 pounds, while narrow body domestic passenger jets can weigh up to 280,000 pounds and are <br />equipped with dual-tandem wheel gear (DTW).
