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.

Refer to Figure 7.24. The following data were collected during the field permeability measurement of a confined aquifer using a pumping test. Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the permeable layer. Use Eq. (7.49). Thickness of the aquifer, H = 4.5 m Piezometric level and radial distance of the first observation well: h1 = 2.9 m; r1 = 17.8 m Piezometric level and radial distance of the second observation well: h2 = 1.8 m; r2 = 8.1 m Rate of discharge from pumping, q = 0.5 m3/min
A permeability pumping test was carried out in a confined aquifer with the piezometric level before pumping of 2.18m below the ground surface. The aquiclude has a thickness of 5.7m measured from the ground surface and confined aquifer is 7.6m deep until it reaches the aquiclude at the bottom. At a steady state pumping rate of 15.6 ?7??6?3/?2h?7??1? the drawdown in the observation wells were respectively equal to 1.62m and 0.47m. The distances of the observation wells from the center of the test well were 15m and 32m respectively. The radius of the test well is 1m. Determine the coefficient of permeability (m/hr) Select the correct response: 2.15x10-5 0.215 0.597 5.97x10-5
i) A pipe of 1.2 m diameter was provided in a reservoir to act as an outlet. Due to disuse, it was buried and completely clogged up for some length by sediment. Measurements indicated the presence of fine sand (coefficient of permeability, K, = 10 m/day) deposit for a length of 100 m, at the upstream end and of coarse sand (coefficient of permeability, K₂ = 50 m/day) at the downstream end for a length of 50 m. In between these two layers the presence of silty sand (coefficient of permeability, K3 0.10 m/day) for some length is identified. For a head difference of 20 m on either side of the clogged length, the seepage discharge is found to be 0.8 m³/day. Estimate the length of the pipe filled up by silty sand. =
A site consists of a homogenous dense silty sand layerof 8m thickness which is underlain by an imprevious stiff clau stratum. The initial water table was at 3m depth below the ground level. A pumping test was carrier out by pumping water at the rate of 0.7 m^3/min. Onservation wells were dug into the ground at 25m and 50m distances from the center line of the well. At steady state (i.e., when there was no change in water levels in the observation wells), the water levels in the two wells dropped by 500mm and 150mm, respectively. Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the clay sand layer.
