    Welcome: Seminar On Highway Engineering Drainage of Roads

    Uploaded by

    Sandip Jagdale
    This seminar discusses drainage of roads, which is important to prevent excess moisture from damaging road stability and materials. Proper drainage includes surface drainage to efficiently remove water from the road surface, and sub-surface drainage to control moisture in the sub-grade. Surface drainage collects and disposes of surface water without allowing it to permeate the subgrade. Sub-surface drainage uses underground drains like L-drains and C-drains to lower the water table and maintain subgrade bearing capacity by controlling moisture levels. The goal of road drainage systems is to keep the road and its foundation as dry as possible.

    Drainage of Roads
    Topics
    1. Introduction
    2. Road drainage
    3. Sub-surface drainage
    2. Introduction
    • Drainage of roads is a system by which efficient
    collection, removal and disposal of surface.
    • The entrance of water in the sub-grade of the road
    pavement can be prevented by road drainage system
    i. Importance of highway
    ii. Ideal requirement of highway drainage system
    i. Importance of highway
    • Excess moisture in soil sub-grade causes considerable
    lowering of its stability.
    • Increase in moisture causes reduction in strength of many
    pavements material like WBM
    • In some clayey soils variation in moisture can cause
    considerable variation in volume of subgrade.
    • One of the most important cause of failure by the formation
    of waves & corrugations in flexible pavement is due to poor
    drainage.
    • Excess water on shoulders and pavement edge causes
    considerable damage.
    ii. Ideal requirement of highway drainage
    system
    • The surface water from the carriageway and shoulder should
    effectively be drained off without allowing it to percolate to
    subgrade.
    • The surface water from the adjoining land should be
    prevented from entering the roadway.
    • The side drain should have sufficient capacity and longitudinal
    slope to carry away all the surface water collected.
    • Flow of surface water across the road and shoulders along and
    the slope should not causes formation of cross ruts.
    • Seepage and other sources of underground water should be
    drained off by the sub-surface drainage system
    2. Road drainage
     a system by which efficient collection , removal and
    disposal of surface and sub-surface water can be
    properly done
     The main Aim is to keep the road surface and its
    foundation as dry as possible from water.
     A good drainage system is required to maintain the
    highway transportation with minimum cost.
     Types of drainage
    i. Surface drainage.
    ii. Sub Surface drainage.
    i.) Surface drainage.
    • When a system in which the surface water of road
    is collected and disposed within right-of-way of a
    road.

    FUNCTION
    • To collect the drained off water from road surface.
    • To keep the road surface from water.
    • To increase the stability of road pavement.
    ii.) Sub-surface Drainage
    • When the system by which sub-soil water from underside of
    a road pavement is collected and removed.
    • Its specially used to control the moisture content of the road
    sub-grade.
    FUNCTION
    • To control the moisture content of the road sub-grade.
    • To maintain the bearing capacity of the sub-grade soil.
    • To reduce the capillary rise.

    L-drains and C-drains


    a) L-drains & C-drains
    • Water table can be lowered by providing longitudinal drains
    and cross drains below the pavement structure at the
    specified depth
    • Longitudinal drains pipes are placed with open joints butting
    against each other and laid on a bed of sand, crushed stone
    of 150mm thick.
    Causes of providing the L & C-Drains.
    i. The main longitudinal drain pipes may be provided on the
    both sides.
    ii. The main longitudinal drain pipes may be provided at the
    center sufficiently below the road pavement.
