Drainage of Pavements

Pavement Drainage holds ample significance, as it prevents the accumulation of water or any liquid on the surface of pavements and ensures proper drainage system. With proper design and gradual slopes provided, the water gets easily removed from the surface into the drains, which are essential during heavy rains and unusual weather conditions keeping it less prone to accidents and increasing the durability of the pavement structure.

1.) A -2.6% grade meets a +4.8% grade near an underpass. To maintain the minimum clearance allowed under the bridge and at the same time introduce a vertical transition curve in the grade line, it is necessary to use a curve that lies 240m on one side of the vertex of the straight grade and 115m on the other. The station of the beginning of the curve, PC, is 18 + 612 and its elevation is 415.81m. a. Determine the elevation at station 18 + 672. b. Determine the stationing of the lowest point of the curve.
