Highway Drainage

The document discusses highway drainage, focusing on the removal and control of excess water to protect pavement structures and improve road safety. It categorizes drainage into surface and subsurface types, outlines the requirements for effective drainage systems, and details design considerations including hydrologic and hydraulic design phases. Additionally, it presents problems related to estimating flow quantities and designing drainage systems for various soil types and conditions.

HIGHWAY DRAINAGE

PAVEMENT COMPONENTS
DEFINITION
• Process of removal or control of
excess water.
• Surface
• Subsurface
• Interception and diversion.
• Protection of pavement structure
• Improves road safety.
CATEGORY
1. Surface Drainage-
roadway and adjoining
land.
Side drains and cross
drainage.

2. Sub surface drainage –


subgrade.
INTRODUCTION
Presence of water on pavement causes
1. Reduction in stability of soil mass
2. Variation in volume of subgrade in clayey
soils.
3. Waves and corrugations in flexible pavements.
4. Stripping of bitumen.
5. Mud pumping in rigid pavements.
6. Shoulders and pavement edges – cross ruts.
7. Increase in weight and stress of soil mass –
earth slopes and embankment foundations.
8. Frost action.
9. Erosion of soil on unsurfaced roads.
REQUIREMENTS
1. Carriageway and shoulder –
subgrade.
2. Adjoining land.
3. Side drain – capacity and slope.
4. Shoulders and pavement edges.
5. Seepage
6. GWT – 1.2m
7. Special precautions in water
logged areas.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
1. Camber /cross slope – surface/ rainfall.
2. Side drains – open unlined- trapezoidal
3. Side drains run parallel to alignment.
4. Embankments – Longitudinal drains on
both sides.
5. Cutting – side drains – either sides
6. Covered drains filled drainage trenches.
DESIGN
Three phases

1. Hydrologic design – estimate water


quantity.
2. Hydraulic design of each element
of system.
3. Comparison of alternative systems
and materials.
criteria – lowest annual cost.
DESIGN OF SIDE DITCHES AND DRAINS
SUB SURFACE DRAINAGE
Problems
• The distance between the farthest point in the turf covered
drainage area (with an average slope of 1.5% towards the drain)
and the point of entry to side drain in 200m. The weighted average
value of the runoff coefficient is 0.25. The length of the
longitudinal open drain in a sandy clay soil from the inlet point to
the cross drainage is 540m. The velocity of flow in the side drain
may be assumed as 0.6 m/sec. so that silting and erosion are
prevented. Estimate the design quantity of flow on the side drain
for a ten years period of frequency of occurrence of the storm.

• The maximum quantity of water expected in one of the open


longitudinal drains on clayey soil is 0.9m3/sec. design the cross
section and longitudinal slope of trapezoidal drain assuming the
bottom width of the trapezoidal section to be 1.0m and cross slope
to be 1.0 V to 1.5 H. The allowable velocity of flow in the drain is
1.2 m/sec and Manning’s roughness coefficient is 0.02.
• The surface water from road side is drained to the
longitudinal side drain from across one half of a
bituminous pavement surface of total width 7.0m,
shoulder and adjoining land of width 8.0m on one side
of the drain. On the other side of the longitudinal drain,
water flows across from reserve land with grass and 2%
cross slope towards the side drain, the width of this
strip of land being 25m. The run off coefficients of the
pavement, shoulder and reserve land with grass
surface are 0.8, 0.25 and 0.35 respectively. The length
of the stretch of land parallel to the side drain is about
400m. Estimate the quantity of runoff flowing in the
drain assuming 25 years period frequency.Design the
cross section and slope of the side drain in loamy soil
with Manning’s roughness coefficient=0.022 and
suitable speed of flow=0.8m/sec
• Estimate the design quantity of flow on a road side drain for 25yrs period
of occurrence of storm from the following data:- width of drainage area
along bare soil with cross slope of 1% up to the side drain = 300m, length
of longitudinal side drain =650m, allowable velocity of flow= 0.5m/sec,
weighted avg value of runoff coefficient = 0.3
