The efficiency of maintaining road pavements in good condition in Poland, and, in particular, maintaining their good technical condition, depends mainly on the availability of financial resources and conducting ongoing works related to road operation and maintenance. Selected European countries, including Poland, reactivated the concept of reconstruction and use of highway landing strips. Based on the analysis of the technical parameters of a newly built highway landing strip, this publication presents, using the finite element method (FEM), the verification of the technical parameter values potentially resulting from the maximum load caused by a C-130 Hercules aircraft.
