Abstract:The purpose of pavement base and subbase courses is to provide a means for free water to drain from
beneath roadways while providing structural support for the pavement. Problems occur when highway
materials which are assumed to have adequate drainage characteristics actually have low permeability
and low effective porosity.
It has been observed that some base and subbase materials meeting the gradation requirements provide
only fair to poor drainage characteristics. The current gradation ranges permit a broad range of possible
permeability and effective porosities. It is necessary to investigate bases and subbases that satisfy the
current gradation specifications to determine ranges of their permeability and effective porosities.
