Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study focused on positive drainage of pavement structures. The open-graded base course concepts included non-stabilized, asphalt cement concrete (AC) stabilized and portland cement concrete (PCC) stabilized. Drainage systems included pipe in trenches, fin-type, pipe beneath transverse joints and retrofitted pipe. Non-drainage elements included 3.05 m (14 ft) wide driving lanes, and a 30.48 cm (12 in.) layer of "select embankment". Twelve projects were monitored, both portland cement concrete surface and asphaltic concrete surface. Measurement surveys included Pavement Distress Index (PDI), transverse joint faulting, International Roughness Index (IRI) ride quality, and coring at the transverse joints.
