Guidelines for Design, Construction, and Evaluation of Airport Pavement Drainage
Abstract
This report provides comprehensive guidelines for the design, construction, and evaluation of airport pavement drainage. Procedures for considering climate effects on airport drainage and runoff are described. Summaries of several climatic models which can be used to generate temperature and moisture content conditions in pavements are presented. Pavement surface drainage is discussed in terms of pavement grooving and the use of porous friction courses. Pavement subsurface drainage is discussed in detail. Methods for determining sources and quantity of water flow rate are provided. Procedures for designing subbase drainage layers, blankets and filter layers have been presented. Methods for selecting and sizing subdrainage collectors and outlets are discussed. Types of equipment and procedures for installation of pavement subsurface drainage are presented. Steps necessary for Maintenance of pavement subsurface drainage systems are discussed. Temperature, precipitation, location, and type of cover. The computer program generates water content profiles in a pavement system based on climatic data input. This model also provides data on pavement profile temperature, frost heave, and layer strength.
