• Abstract:
  The effects of excessive water within pavement structural sections has been shown to decrease the service ; life of our nation’s roadways. Some of the problems associated with this excessive water include ; premature rutting, cracking, faulting, increased roughness, and a relatively rapid decrease in the level of ; service ability. These problems are caused by a decrease in the ability of the structural section to transmit ; the dynamic loading of traffic, and also through the development of excessive pore pressure which can ; cause pumping of the subbase material up through the cracks in the pavement surface. Beginning in 1970, ; there has been an increasing interest in pavement drainage, as premature failure of pavements has become ; a significant problem. One treatment to increase drainage is the use of permeable base systems along with ; longitudinal pipe edge drains as a means to address premature pavement failure.
