Abstract |
|
This paper aims to investigate the many implications of poor drainage on the state of road pavements. Early pavement deterioration due to poor drainage results in road structural failures and driving difficulties. It is crucial to provide proper drainage to stop or reduce early pavement failures and improve road performance. A field survey of the current state of the offered drainage system and its consequent effects on pavement performance was conducted on the main roads in Hargeisa city as a case study. This analysis revealed that the majority of roads in Hargeisa City had insufficient drainage, which led to serious distresses and pavement deterioration. Design principles are based on prior experiences in the design and construction of appropriate drainage. |
