That is kind of like asking "where will I find a bolt in a car" . There are SO MANY answers
Transport Canada recognises three basic types of runway, the packed earth runway, the ice runway and the composite materials runway. Each of these has numerous requirements in weight capability, location and seasonal changes. You have to plough through hundreds of pages to find the relevant details. You have to define factors like "maximum aircraft mass", "maximum pressure per tire" , " subgrade strength capability". "Flexible or rigid pavement", "subgrade bearing strength"
One sentence I love in these regulations is -
"The operating authority for every certified airport in Canada is required to determine the bearing strength of all airside pavement operational surfaces at the airport according to the Canadian Pavement Load Rating PLR system and the International Civil Aviation Organization’s ICAO Pavement Classification Number PCN system.
