Abstract: The paper presents a framework to predict and consider the risks associated with the permeable layer in a pavement subsurface drainage system and suggests strategies to reduce the risks and improve the performance of the ...

Abstract: Pavement materials are prone to damage due to mechanical loadings and rainfall infiltration. The rainfall initiates moisture movement within the layers and accelerates the damaging rate. A better understanding of the ...

Abstract: A granular filter is required to satisfy two requirements of retention and hydraulic conductivity. The current design approaches are based on the representative grain sizes for retention and hydraulic conductivity requirements. ...
