Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The adverse effects of entrapped water within the various components of a pavement system are generally accepted and well-known. In an effort to reduce, if not eliminate, the detriment of the entrapped water, the West Virginia Department of Highways constructed its first project using the free-draining concept in the summer of 1982. The project chosen for experimentation involved over 5 mi of four-lane divided highway. Incorporated in this full-depth asphaltic pavement is a 4-in. bituminous, stabilized, open-graded base course which is connected to the surface drainage by numerous aggregate-filled fabric underdrains. This paper discusses the design considerations given this project, the construction sequence used, and the evaluation of the pavement system after 4.5 yr of service.
