... 34 Introduction As a means of determining the experiences in addressing ASR on concrete airfield pavement facilities, a web-based survey was prepared and distributed to selected airport owners/agencies. Some airports known to have ASR issues were earmarked, identified based on input from the technical panel, from contacts within the industry, and from the literature review.
