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. A recent trend has
been toward the use of permeable base systems along with longitudinal pipe edge drains as a means to address
premature pavement failure.
