Published by the FAA, this contains the standard specifications that relate to materials and methods used for construction on airports. Items covered in this AC include general provisions, earthwork, flexible base courses, rigid base courses, flexible surface courses, rigid pavement, fencing, drainage, turf, and lighting installation.

Please refer to Section P-401 beginning on page number 263 for asphalt pavements and Section P-501 specific for PCC pavements beginning on page number 345.

UFGS Section 32 13 14.13, titled "Interlocking Precast Concrete Unit Paving," outlines the requirements for the construction of interlocking concrete pavements. This section includes specifications for materials, installation procedures, and quality control measures to ensure durable and aesthetically pleasing paving.  Information specific to smoothness testing can be found in Section 2.1.1.

ICAO Annex 14, "Aerodromes," provides international standards and recommended practices for the design and operation of aerodromes. It covers various aspects such as aerodrome physical characteristics, obstacle limitation surfaces, visual aids, and safety management systems. The document aims to ensure the safe and efficient operation of aerodromes worldwide by establishing uniform guidelines for their design, construction, and maintenance.  Smoothness specific information begins on Page 316

Published by the FAA, this Advisory Circular (AC) provides guidelines and procedures for measuring and evaluating runway roughness as identified by surface profile data of rigid and flexible airport pavements. The guidance in this AC provides technical procedures to quantify surface irregularities and to determine how surface irregularities may affect specific categories of airplanes.

Published by the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, this document discusses the development and application of the Boeing Method to evaluate runway roughness.
