Abstract
In this research,an attempt has been made to look at the important and influential issues from a multi-faceted perspective,while solving the existing deficiencies,to separate and select various methods of paving the flight surfaces.In order to achieve this goal,it is first tried to evaluate the effective criteria by reviewing the basics and background of the researches done in this field,and then by examining the advantages and disadvantages of these methods,the selected option is presented.this issue is of particular importance due to safety,environmental and economic benefits,the selection of a comprehensive technique with multi-criteria features for use in prioritizing the pavement method has been neglected. This issue unintentionally causes huge costs to every airport. Since the status of index exchange in prioritizing types of pavements based on their specific characteristics is a non-compensatory multi-criteria problem,the solution of these problems can be done with the expert analysis of effective parameters and the application of multi-criteria decision-making knowledge,on this basis after identifying the criteria based on the basics Theory and finalization based on the opinions of experts,for weighting the criteria,the expert measurement technique (average weight provided by the research experts) and according to the conditions of the problem,the electre technique has been used to prioritize the paving methods (alternatives for decision-making)The research findings show that the order of priority in these pavements are traditional asphalt, polymer asphalt,mastic asphalt (SMA),traditional concrete,rubber asphalt,green asphalt,porous asphalt,flexible concrete (ECC),green concrete, On this basis,sponge concrete is suggested to use the results to choose a suitable option in the country's airports.
