Water in Road Structures: Movement, Drainage & Effects

Water in and beneath a road pavement has a major impact on the road's
performance and its survivability. This book provides a
state-of-the-art on the topic of water in pavements and the adjacent
ground. It includes coverage of the basic theory; where the water comes
from; how it may (or may not) be drained; the effect of temperature on
the movement; how movements may be modelled numerically; and the impact
that water content has on pavement material and subgrade behaviour.
Sections on instrumentation and monitoring are also provided. With
increased concerns that road construction may introduce contaminants
into the environment, the book also studies environmental aspects of
water in roads and their immediate surroundings by describing the
leaching action of pavement water; the opportunities for the pavement
to sorb contaminants from pavement run-off; water sampling; and water
quality needs. It draws on information from a wide variety of sources,
particularly in Europe and the USA, both published and unpublished,
having been written by a broad team of practising engineers,
hydrogeologists, environmental scientists and researchers. This book is
of the COST programme, managed by the European Science Foundation.
