The certified PDF on e-Publishing is the only authoritative source. Your MAJCOM/unit supplement may be stricter. ## Synthesized answer (unofficial) The passages provided are table of contents entries, figure listings, and regulatory references to UFC 3-260-02, but they do not contain the substantive content of that publication itself. UFC 3-260-02 is identified as "Pavement Design for Airfields" [AFI 32-1001 para 18.5], and airfield pavements must be designed and maintained in accordance with it [AFI 32-1001 para 18.5]. The publication addresses pavement design topics including reinforced and fibrous concrete pavements, joint design (contraction, construction, and expansion joints), and triaxial soil testing procedures [UFC 3-260-02]. To answer a specific question about UFC 3-260-02 requirements, the actual regulatory text of that publication is needed. Not found in the indexed publications — check the official source. Unofficial — answered from indexed publication text, which may be incomplete or out of date. Your MAJCOM/unit supplement may be stricter.
