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.

Soil borings made at a site indicate that the top 8 m is a loose sand, with the groundwater table at 4 m below the ground surface. Below this is a fairly soft blue-gray silty clay with an average water content of 30%. The boring was terminated at 20 m below the ground surface when fairly stiff silty clay was encountered.

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.
