Highway Drainage

Highway drainage is the process of extracting and regulating the excess surface water on the pavement by giving the desired slope. The construction of a highway drain helps to divert the water present on the surface, and sub-grade by the means of slope. Highway drainage systems are a necessary part of smooth functioning of traffic, since the highway drainage systems provide proper disposal of unwanted substances from the highways.

The profile at a site consists of 5m of sand overlying 10m of compressible clay, which in turn overlies a dense sand. The water table is at the top of the profile. The total unit weight of the top sand is 19kN/m3 and that of the clay is 18kN/m3. The Cv of the clay is estimated to be 5x 10-3 cm2/sec. Initially the clay is normally consolidated. It is planned to place a temporary fill that will exert a vertical load of 200kPa over the entire site. How long must the fill be in place so that, after it is removed, the maximum past pressure at every point in the clay is at least 50kPa larger than the vertical effective stress that existed before the fill was placed?
