• Abstract:
  In 1988, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) conducted a field survey (Demonstration Project No. 975, Permeable Base Design and Construction) of ten States (California, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Wisconsin) to determine design criteria and construction problems for building permeable bases. Now there are approximately 20 States using permeable bases. Design procedures have now stabilized so that a comprehensive design and construction package can be provided to State highway agencies in the form of Demonstration Project No. 87, Drainable Pavement Systems. The purpose of this demonstration project is to provide State highway engineers with current state-of-the-art drainage guidance on the design and construction of permeable bases and edgedrains for Portland cement concrete pavements. This notebook is a blend of drainage design, materials design, and construction and maintenance procedures.
