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 soil profile for an office building foundation is on a sand layer of 10.4 meters, which is located above a normal consolidated sand soil layer with a thickness of 2 meters. Under the clay layer there is coarse sand. The groundwater level is 3 meters below ground level. The sand pore number is 0.76 and the clay moisture content is 43%. The building will exert a pressure of 140 kPa on the clay, so that the clay will undergo primary consolidation. Assume that if it rains there can be a rise in the groundwater level to the surface. So the sand can become saturated with water. Cc = 0.3 and Gs = 2.7.
