#13) The centerline of the highway is located 250 feet from the physical end of the runway, and the highway runs perpendicular to the runway. Consider the distance from the new displaced threshold to the centerline of the highway, where the clearance must be 17 feet. Also, according to the book, the definition of approach surface (starts at end of runway) is inconsistent with the sample problem drawing. According to FAA Part 77, the approach surface begins at the end of the primary surface, which is consistent with the drawing – so let’s use that.

#14) You do not need to know the width of the physical runway. For part C, you need to use similar triangles. Make a profile drawing of the approach surface. The drawing in the book is TERRIBLY not to scale (in fact, points C and E are very close to each other in plan view). Make sure you understand the approach surface is above the horizontal surface at this point (z). Point F is the outside edge of the transitional surface that goes up and outwards from the approach surface. Point G is the same point as point J in the example problem. Note: the book is wrong. The approach surface begins at the end of the primary surface, not the runway end.

#15) You do not need to know the width of the physical runway. Don’t forget the footnotes of table 7-6, they are important!

· (HW notes: passenger numbers represent one-way trips. 12 round trips are 24 one-way trips. Problems 46 thru 50, the discount rate is the same thing as an annual interest rate. For problem 46, assume benefits can only accrue between 1983 to 1993. Change part b to: “what is the latest year the project can be completed and still have a positive NPV.” You can get the answer directly from the solution to part a. Problem 48: coverage factor means a factor of safety. E.g., instead of costing 100 million, it will cost 125 million. Use number of passengers per aircraft to allocate costs to each aircraft type. As the number of landings is assumed to increase from 300,000 to 400,000 over the life of the project, you can use the concept of arithmetic gradient, or simply use a spreadsheet to sum up the present value of all future landing fees. Hint: let x be the landing fee and compute the present value of number of landings times x for each future year. Find X that meets the funding requirement

COURSE GOAL:

To introduce students to key topics, issues and design procedures in airport design.

COURSE CONTENT:

CE 633 focuses on the procedures used in airport design, operation and management. Airport characteristics and current problems facing airport design will be discussed. Issues affecting current trends on airport design will also be presented.

OBJECTIVES:

Students will be evaluated on the class tests and final exam on their ability to accomplish the following course objectives. Students are encouraged to review this list when studying for exams.

1. To use and understand the calculation procedures for determining the location of runways and other components of the airfield (examples: the length and number of runways, approach areas, or the type of object-free areas).

2. To understand factors affecting the design of the landside and to be able to develop preliminary plans of landside layouts.

2. To identify and discuss the important factors affecting sizing of terminals and be capable of estimating the various terminal components.

4. To use calculation procedures to evaluate and compare alternative terminal designs.

5. To understand the processes involved in airport planning and procedures in determining location choices.

COURSE COMPONENTS, REQUIREMENTS, AND GRADING:

Lectures

Lectures will include presentation of background information, directions for design and calculation procedures, sample problem solving and discussions. Attendance and participation in discussions may be considered in assigning the final grade.

Questions and comments from students are welcome at any time during class.

REMEMBER THAT ALL REQUIRED AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION WILL NOT BE WRITTEN DOWN. STUDENTS MUST TAKE NOTES ON WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR, GUESTS AND OTHER STUDENTS SAY.

Readings

The attached course schedule contains readings that should be read during each week to supplement the material presented by the instructor.

Problem Sets

Homework problems will be assigned on a regular basis. Due dates will be determined at the time of the assignment. Homework assignments will be completed in groups of two or three students. All homework submissions must be either neatly handwritten on engineering paper or typed and should conform to acceptable engineering standards. Remember, that you need to rationalize all your answers and explain how and why you arrived at these conclusions. Simply stating the answer or your suggestion is not enough to get you full credit.

Group Project

Since this is a class where a number of design issues are discussed and taught, it is natural that a semester project will be required. The project will be will be due at the beginning of the final exam period. The project will involve designing a new terminal for LEX. An oral presentation (during the final exam period) is also required.

Tests / Exam

To evaluate the students’ learning progress and understanding of the material presented, three exams will be given during the course of the class. Three exams will be given during the semester. All exams will be open book and closed notes. The students are allowed to bring a sheet of engineering paper into class with any material deemed useful in the exams.

Grading

Homework 20% 90 - 100 = A

Tests 45% 80 - 89 = B

70 - 79 = C

Project 25% 60 - 69 = D

Project oral presentation 10% <60 = E

100%

GRADES WILL NOT BE ADJUSTED AT ANY TIME USING ANY CURVE SCHEME.

DEADLINES:

Late assignments will be accepted only in case of an appropriately verified excused absence; otherwise a grade of zero (0) will be given for the assignment. In the event of absence you are responsible for learning about any changes in the due dates of the homework and progress reports. These absences do NOT allow you to submit late homework or progress reports.

APPEALS:

Grades on problem sets and tests (with the exception of the final exam) can be appealed according to the following procedure:

After each problem set or test has been returned, you will have ONE WEEK to review it and plead your case for a grade change. Beyond the one week period no changes will be made.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Students are requested to review the policies of the university with respect to discrimination and sexual harassment, and the policies of the College of Engineering with respect to academic dishonesty, excused absences and the final examination schedule.

FINAL NOTE:

To do well in this class you must come prepared to the lectures and read the assigned readings. Active participation is a must! Hard work and lots of studying are essential.

MY EXPECTATIONS

The following is a list of my expectations regarding your attendance, progress, and participation in the class. A similar list with your expectations from me will be compiled to create the basis for an enjoyable semester. Thus,

I expect you:

1. to come on time and attend the class lectures

2. to turn your homework in time and at the assigned due dates

3. to be attentive during the class lectures and actively participate in discussions

4. to complete the reading assignments and come prepared to class

5. to be able to complete assignments (homework and projects) and exams

6. to think critically and be creative as future civil engineers

7. to learn what is deemed necessary for completing your engineering education

8. to become familiar with the class subject

9. to be able to acquire at least adequate knowledge to complete work in the future in the area of airport design, should you be presented the opportunity

10. to not be afraid to ask questions and express your opinion

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:

In the absence of announced deviations exams and the due date for the group project are correct. All readings are from the required text or internet and should be done prior to the lecture. Additional readings may be required and handouts will be provided if needed. The instructor will include additional materials not falling under syllabus topics from time to time. Please relate details of current events regarding airports for the benefit of the rest of the class.

Face Covering/Distancing Policy

The Senate Council endorses the following recommended syllabus statements for faculty teaching face-to-face courses.

In accordance with University guidelines, students must wear UK-approved face coverings in the classroom and academic buildings (e.g., faculty offices, laboratories, libraries, performance/design studios, and common study areas where students might congregate). If UK-approved face coverings are not worn over the nose and mouth, students will be asked to leave the classroom.

Students should complete their daily online wellness screening before accessing university facilities and arriving to class.

Students should not move chairs or barriers in classrooms and should socially distance at all times, leaving a six (6) foot radius from other people. Masks and hand sanitizer can be found {specific location in building} if needed.

Students should leave enough space when entering and exiting a room. Students should not crowd doorways at the beginning or end of class.

The instructor may choose to remove a mask when pedagogically necessary at the front of the classroom and behind a clear barrier. The instructor's mask will be replaced when it is no longer necessary to have it removed, or when the class meeting is complete.
