Highway Drainage

Highway drainage is the process of extracting and regulating the excess surface water on the pavement by giving the desired slope. The construction of a highway drain helps to divert the water present on the surface, and sub-grade by the means of slope. Highway drainage systems are a necessary part of smooth functioning of traffic, since the highway drainage systems provide proper disposal of unwanted substances from the highways.

Water fl ows in a brickwork rectangular channel 2 m wide,on a slope of 5 m/km. (a) Find the fl ow rate when thenormal depth is 50 cm. (b) If the normal depth remains50 cm, fi nd the channel width which will triple the fl owrate. Comment on this result.
An oil tank is to be sited on a soft alluvial deposit of clay. Below the soft clay is athick layer of stiff clay. It was decided that a circular embankment, 10 m diameter,with wick drains inserted into the soft clay would be constructed to preconsolidateit. The height of the embankment is 6 m and the unit weight of the soil comprisingthe embankment is 18 kN/m3. The following data are available: thickness of softclay = 7 m, ks = 1 × 10−10 m/s and Ch = 0.6 m2/yr. The desired degree ofconsolidation is 90% in 12 months. Determine the spacing of a square grid of thewick drains. Assume wick drain of size 100 mm × 3 mm and qw = 0.1 × 10−6 m3/s.The flow point distance is 4 m. Assume a half-closed system.
