SUMMARY This book provides complete coverage of surface and subsurface drainage of all types of pavements for highways, urban roads, parking lots, airports, and container terminals.
Current research objectives are focused on improving pavement design, construction, and rehabilitation. The specific objectives include testing: (1) drained versus undrained pavement sections, (2) construction variables during night paving, and (3) rubberized asphalt versus conventional asphalt in HMA overlays.

Highway construction materials are selected on the basis of the type of highway, known and projected traffic density, and the climatic conditions of the region. At some places we manage with bitumen (asphalt) only, however, at some place concrete roads are required.

An average asphalt pavement consists of the road structure above the formation level which includes unbound and bituminous-bound materials. This gives the pavement the ability to distribute the loads of the traffic before it arrives at the formation level. Normally, pavements are made of different layers:
This means that a thinner pavement structure could be used on a soil with a higher CBR value than on a soil with a low CBR value. Generally, clays have a CBR value of 6 or less. Silty and sandy soils are next, with CBR values of 6 to 8. The best soils for road-building purposes are the sands and gravels whose CBR values normally exceed 10.
Following are the different components of road structure: Subgrade, Sub-base, Base course, Surface course or wearing course. All these components belong to a typical flexible pavement, whereas rigid …

A pavement design and a pavement design report are required for the following projects that are over 500 ft. long: new location projects (flexible and rigid) reconstruction projects (flexible and rigid) rehabilitation (3R) projects (flexible and rigid) unbonded concrete overlays of existing rigid pavements.
The pavement, which was about 12 feet (360 cm) wide, consisted of sandstone bound by a clay-gypsum mortar. The surface of the central portion consisted of two rows of basalt slabs 2 inches (50 mm) thick. The centre of the roadway seems to have been used for foot traffic and the edges for animals and carts. It is the oldest existing paved road.
The road structure contains three layers: A. the pavement (the bound layers), B. the structure (the unbound structural layers) and C. the subgrade. To start, the loading configuration must first be selected and there are two optional tyre types and three tyre pressures to choose from.
Composite Pavement. A composite pavement is a type of pavement that utilizes both asphalt and concrete. Typically, a concrete base layer provides structural capacity while an asphalt surface layer provides a wearing surface course. This pavement type can also be used in conjunction with roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavements, …
Innovations don't happen overnight. What begins as a theory or idea requires a well-planned and documented program of testing and evaluation to determine if the idea will pan out. Pavements are no exception. New theories and models developed by researchers to improve roadway design and construction must be validated through real-world …
Asphalt is a mixture of aggregates, binder and filler, used for constructing and maintaining roads, parking areas, railway tracks, ports, airport runways, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and also play- and sport areas. Aggregates used for asphalt mixtures could be crushed rock, sand, gravel or slags.

Structural Design The goal of structural design is to determine the number, material composition and thickness of the different layers within a pavement structure required to accommodate a given loading regime. This includes the surface course as well as any underlying base or subbase layers.
