Software (Autocad Civil 3D)

Autocad Civil 3D is an important software which allows for users to design a complex geometry of runways, taxiways, grading and turfing areas, and drainages. The details of Civil 3D you can find from the following link:

Software (Faarfield)

For designing both the airfield flexible and rigid pavements, Faarfield should be used. You can download Faarfield provided by FAA from the following link free of charge:

Software (Bakfaa)

Back-calculation software Bakfaa provided by FAA you can also download free of charge from the following link

https://www.airporttech.tc.faa.gov/Products/Airport-Safety-Papers-Publications/Airport-Safety-Detail/ArtMID/3682/ArticleID/11/BAKFAA-version-2101

Software (FEAFAA)

FEAFAA - 3D Finite Element Analysis of Rigid Airport Pavements can be download from the following link:

Software (Comfaa)

ACN and PCN analysis is required to evaluate pavement performance along with designed traffic. Comfaa provided by FAA is capable to evaluate ACN and PCN. You can also download it free from the following link

https://www.airporttech.tc.faa.gov/Products/Airport-Safety-Papers-Publications/Airport-Safety-Detail/ArtMID/3682/ArticleID/10/COMFAA-30

Software (Pcase)

ACN and PCN concept was originated from the CBR curve method which was proposed by army corps of engineers. Because Pcase developed by the army corps of engineers provides a function of backcalculation, it allows us to evaluate PCN for field pavements. You can download it free from the following link
