PART 1

Related Terms & Definitions 

Pavement: All elements from the wearing surface of a roadway to the subgrade.



Permeable base: A free draining layer in the pavement designed to rapidly remove free water from most elements of pavement.



Base crossdrain: A subsurface drain, generally perpendicular to the roadway alignment, designed to drain infiltrated water.



Dense-graded aggregate base (DGA): Mixture of primarily sand and gravel, well-graded from coarse to fine (usually unstabilized, but sometimes asphalt or cement

Related Terms & Definitions 

Drainage aggregate: Open-graded aggregate with high permeability.



Drainage pipe: Rigid or flexible pipe conduit designed to collect and/or transport water out of the pavement section (usually perforated).



Edgedrain: A subsurface drain usually located at the edge of the pavement.



Headwall:

Related Terms & Definitions 

Infiltration: Free water in the pavement structural elements entering through cracks, joints, or permeable paving.



Outlet: The point of discharge of an edgedrain.



Outlet pipe: The lateral connection from the edgedrainto the outlet. Usually a solid pipe and usually strong to prevent damage.

Related Terms & Definitions 

Prefabricated geocomposite edgedrain (PGED): An edgedrain consisting of a drainage core covered with geotextile. Usually 1 to 2 in. thick by 1 to 3 ft high, placed in a narrow trench. It may include drainage aggregate or sand as a part of the installation.



Separator/filter layer (aggregate or geotextile): A geotextile or aggregate (subbase) layer separating a permeable base layer from an adjacent soil (or aggregate) containing fines to prevent the fines from contaminating the drainage aggregate. Must meet the filter criteria for drainage filters.



Underdrain: A deep subsurface drain located at a sufficient depth to intercept and lower the ground water to a required design

Related Terms & Definitions 

Capillary action The flow of liquids through porous media & movement of liquids in thin tubes.



Vapor movement The process by which the entire body of fluid moves in responses to differences in hydraulic potentials.



Seepage The process by which a liquid leaks through a porous substance.

WHY IS ROAD DRAINAGE SO IMPORTANTS ? 

A road’s infrastructure is an engineering work, aiming the establishment of a platform, on which vehicle circulation is possible under safety conditions, proper traffic flow, commodity, and economy, independently of the region’s climate conditions;



Water, along with heavy traffic, is one of the greatest causes of road ruin.

Subsurface Drainage Importance

Soil’s resistance to compression may drop from 0.15 MPa to 0.07 MPa (about half) if its water content increases from 25 to 30%.

Factors Affecting the drainage system in road construction



Sensitivity of groundwater



Importance of road



Area (rural or populated)



Amount of traffic



Sensitivity of streams, rivers, lakes

Sources of Moisture in Pavements

Sources of Moisture in Pavements

Sources of Moisture in Pavements 

Flow of existing sub-surface water, from higher terrain near the road



Elevation or drop of the water table



Water infiltration by joints or badly sealed cracks (concrete pavement) or by porous and fissured areas



Moisture movement on the soil



Successive frost/defrost cycles, increase cracks and therefore water infiltration on the pavement

Sources of Moisture

PCC Pavement Water Infiltration

Moisture-Related and Accelerated Distresses 

Pumping/erosion.



Faulting.



Corner cracking.



Transverse cracking.



Fatigue (alligator)

Purpose of Subsurface Drainage 

Subsurface drainage is intended to remove water that infiltrates into a pavement.



Surface water is primarily removed through proper geometric design.



Water can enter the pavement in numerous ways,



only some of which can be effectively drained by a subsurface drainage system.



The basic idea is that water in the pavement drives certain types of distress.

Fac Purpose of Subsurface Drainage 

Amount of free water that infiltrates into the pavement structure.



Potential for moisture-related damage to pavement.



Ability to design, construct, and maintain the drainage system.



Other general factors (e.g., topography, soil types,etc.).

Design of Pavement Drainage 

The hydraulic requirements for the permeable layer to achieve the required time-to-drain.



The edgedrain pipe size and outlet spacing requirements.



Either the gradation of requirements for a graded aggregate separation layer or the opening size, permeability, endurance, and strength requirements for geotextile separators.



The opening size, permeability, endurance, and strength requirements for geotextile filters, or the gradation of the granular filters (to be used in the edgedrain).

Sub-surface drainage Hydraulic calculation for drains (QL)

QL = q . B . L QL - water flow through the pipe (m3/s) q - surface run-off water flow (m3/s/m) L - sect ion's length [m] B - width calculation's [m]

Sub-surface drainage Hydraulic calculation for drains (QL) 

In cases where the drainage is used not only as interception drainage but also to lower the water level, dimensioning should consider specific calculations for the underground flow in to the drain. In this situation the projected flow should be the sum of the aforementioned value and the estimate through the application of Darcys’ Law.



In order to simplify dimensioning, some authors consider that the in-flow to the drain amounts to about 35% of the total flow generated in banks added by 20% for flow originated in the road platform, i.e.: QL = 0.35×QT + 0.20×Qp

QL– water flow to de pipe (m3/s); QT – surface run-off water in slopes (m3/s);

Sub-surface drainage Hydraulic calculation for drains (QL) 0.5 

As to the depth of installation of the drains, one can estimate, in a first approach, by the formula: 0.5

D – drain depht (m) d – depth that groundwater level should stabilize(m) b – distance between drains(m) i – infiltration soil rate (m/s) K – soil permeability (m/s)

Sub-surface drainage



Hydraulic calculation for drains (QL)

The capacity of a circular pipe flowing full can be determined by Manning's equation:

Q = (53.01/n) D8/3 S1/2 where,  Q = Pipe capacity, cu ft/day  D = Pipe diameter, in.  S = Slope, ft/ft  n = Manning's roughness coefficient
