Abstract

Roadway as part of land transportation is very important to actualize human or commodity movements. Roadway should be able to show good performance. It is known that inundation at roadway is very serious problem, and often causes disruption to road users. Conventional drainage system that has been applied with the concept of discharging or draining water to the drainage channel has not been able to evade rain water that falls on the road surface. To date, the load of drainage channel is increasing. This is contributed by the decrease of the drainage function in order to flow water through the channel. To overcome the problem, a new concept of eco-drainage, that is a concept to minimize the change of water discharge and pollutant as an impact of region development, is introduced. To do so, an experimental method with laboratory test of aggregate and soil will be conducted, followed by developing a roadway drainage model. This study aims to develop a sustainable road drainage system by increasing the ability of the drainage system in infiltrating water that related to road construction to soil in the means of providing artificial facilities. This artificial facility includes side channels, filter layers and infiltration wells. At the end of this study, the expected result is the ability to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of the performance of the model.

Highlights

  • Roadway represents an infrastructure that functions as media of land transportation movement, either motorized or non-motorized vehicles, and pedestrian

  • 3.4 Evaluation and Validation Model To evaluate the performance of the model, it is necessary to conduct validation process by applying and examining all components of the proposed drainage system, i.e. side channel, filter layers and infiltration well, at different conditions that commonly encountered at the field

  • Validation process is especially conducted to evaluate the level of water infiltration in the aggregate filter and the velocity of water flow in the infiltration well

Summary

Introduction

Roadway represents an infrastructure that functions as media of land transportation movement, either motorized or non-motorized vehicles, and pedestrian. The road surface will increase waterproof surfaces, high rainfall can increase the volume of surface water run-off volume and as a result, inundation on roadway surface might be occurred if road drainage does not function well It could cork the road drainage channel and result overflow water when it rain is fall. If something occurs on the channel, it is the beginning of the continuous destruction of the road
