A brief history of scientific research in the field of airfield coatings of various types, including those carried out in recent years. Some information about the structures of reinforcement layers and the impact of the design features of airfield coatings on their work. Mathematical models and methods for calculating the stress-deformed and heat-humidity conditions of airfield coatings in the “coating-base” system under the influence of operational loads and the annual cycle of changes in ambient temperature . are proposed. Methods for calculating the load capacity of rigid and non-rigid aerodrome coatings, as well as issues of assessing their technical condition, repair and certification are considered For a uniform understanding of terminology, the book is provided with a dictionary. The book is designed for engineering and scientific workers, whose activities are associated with the design, construction and operation of airfields . It may also be useful to graduate students and students as a teaching aid.
