Abstract

An ideal road infrastructure has a low cost for maintenance and better performance of the roads and drainage systems. The disintegrated maintenance system between the roads and drainage is the major cause of an increasing road maintenance cost. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the impact of drainage towards roads in maintenance cost. This paper is located in Surakarta which was divided into eight catchment areas. The main variables of this paper are cost maintenance of drainage and roads, which were analyzed using regression. These variable data were obtained from the total cost per year allocated by Surakarta City Government on the urban drainage and local road maintenance budget from 2013 to 2017. The results showed that low drainage maintenance cost tended to result in high road maintenance cost.

Highlights

  • The main cause of road failure is construction materials, traffic load, climate and water [1, 2]

  • The integration of drainage and the road system is done by concerning the factors that influence urban drainage systems, which are: a) rainfall intensity, b) catchment area, c) urban growth such as physical growth of the city, balance of development within city and between city and social factor, economy and culture, d) terrain and environmental factors such as topography and soil stability [6,7]

  • 3.1 Catchment area characteristic In terms of topography, the catchments area of Gajah Putih, Jenes, Pepe Hilir, and Tanggul have the same slope of 0-8%, while Pepe Hulu and Bengawan Solo varies slightly with a slope of 0-8% and Kalianyar has the highest slope, from 0-8%, 8-5%, and 15-25%

Summary

Introduction

The main cause of road failure is construction materials, traffic load, climate and water [1, 2]. The effect of water puddles on the road is a weakening of the soil load carrying capacity followed by the acceleration of the pavement cracking process [4]. The integration of drainage and the road system is done by concerning the factors that influence urban drainage systems, which are: a) rainfall intensity, b) catchment area, c) urban growth such as physical growth of the city, balance of development within city and between city and social factor, economy and culture, d) terrain and environmental factors such as topography and soil stability [6,7]. In the implementation, road and drainage system management has not been integrated
