Abstract:

The effects of excessive and uncontrolled water entrapped in the various components of a paving system are known or suspected to have been responsible for unsatisfactory performance and outright failures of both portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete pavements. To eliminate or at least reduce the detriment, almost half of the highway and transportation agencies across the nation have been addressing the problem by designing and constructing free-draining pavement systems. In an effort to ascertain just how much and what kind of attention is being given free-draining pavements on a national scale and to gain some insight into the performance characteristics of such systems designed to date, the Transportation Research Board's Committee on Subsurface Drainage prepared a questionnaire for national distribution in the fall of 1985. This paper is an attempt to summarize the responses to that questionnaire.
