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.

3. A level 0.0 percent grade (g₁) intersects a plus 5.0 percent grade (g₂) at station (kilometer) 1+000 at an elevation of +80.00. Given that a 100 m length of vertical curve is utilized, determine the station (kilometer) and elevations at every 20-metre station and give in a tabular form.
7. A -3% grade meets a +5% grade near an underpass. In order to maintain the minimum clearance allowed under the bridge and at the same time introduce a vertical transitioning curve in the grade line, it is necessary to use a curve that lies 200-m on one side of the vertex of the straight grade and 100-m on the other. The stationing of the beginning of the curve (200-m side) is 10+000 and elevation is 228m. a.) Determine the stationing of the lowest point of the curve. b.)
