DESCRIPTION:
Pavement Subsurface Drainage Design is a two-day course aimed at teaching those involved in highway pavement design and construction how to design, build, and maintain subsurface drainage systems for new, existing, and reconstructed pavements. The information presented in this course about pavement subsurface drainage design is reinforced by hands-on training with the "Drainage Requirements in Pavements", Version 2.0 (DRIP2) Windows-based computer software. Workshop topics for this course cover an overview of pavement subsurface drainage, drainage considerations, drainage type selection, hydraulic design factors, permeable base systems, separator layers, longitudinal edgedrain design and construction, retrofit edgedrain design and construction, maintenance of subsurface drainage systems, and performance monitoring. This course includes workshops requiring participants to run the DRIP2 software on computers. Each participant should have their own computer with the DRIP2 software loaded on it prior to the course presentation. OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:- Design subsurface drainage systems for new and existing Portland cement concrete (PCC) and asphalt concrete (AC) pavements
- Assist in developing plans, specifications, and estimates for subsurface drainage system projects
- Develop monitoring and maintenance programs for pavements with subsurface drainage systems
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The course is directed toward Federal, State, and local highway engineers, designers, and personnel involved in hydraulic design, materials control, pavements design, research, construction, and maintenance of pavement subsurface drainage systems. |
