TxDOT Project 0-6843: Evaluating Use of Sub-Grade Drains with PFC for Stormwater

Drainage

1. Abstract

Water standing on pavements is a major safety concern. Water accumulation on roadways leads to splash and spray and even hydroplaning, which contribute significantly to auto accidents. This project will develop a design method for the underdrains of porous friction course (PFC) to eliminate standing water on roadway surfaces, especially difficult drain segments. The project includes both large-scale testing and numerical modeling of storm water drainage. The large–scale testing involves testing a few pavement sections and measuring water surface within and on the PFC. The numerical model will couple the run-off on PFC surface with the seepage within the PFC to avoid the limitations of existing numerical models. After calibrated by the test data, the numerical model will be used to simulate the dynamic process of infiltration, run-off and seepage for various pavement conditions under different rainfall events. With the results from the numerical modeling, the effect of underdrains on removing standing water on PFC will be quantified and a number of design charts, equations or similar tools will be developed to assist in determining the size, spacing and configuration of the underdrains. The Performing Agency shall provide these design charts to TxDOT which will be used for regular segments as well as difficult drainage segments. 2. Implementation

Project 0-6843 will result in a design procedure and a number of design charts to assist the design of underdrains that are used in conjunction with PFC to eliminate standing water during extreme rainfall events. The design procedure will determine the size, spacing and configuration of the underdrains, particularly for difficult drainage segments such as super-elevation transitions and roadway sags. Implementation will include development of a self-documented design module suitable for direct inclusion into the hydraulic design manual. The Performing Agency shall provide handouts, documentation and a presentation summarizing the research results with the approval of the Receiving Agency’s Project Team. 3. Work Plan

At the beginning of the project, a kick-off meeting to seek feedbacks, instructions, information, and suggestions for how the work plan shall proceed. During the project, the researchers shall keep frequent contact with the Receiving Agency’s Project Team and Project Manager to update the progress and resolve any issue. Task 1: Literature Survey and Summary of Existing Models. The researchers shall conduct a thorough literature review on the subject of drainage for PFCs. Specifically, the researchers will synthesize existing knowledge in the literature based on research-related information including but not limited to:

State-of-art techniques regarding drainage prediction.

project. Task 1 Deliverables: Technical memorandum1 (TM1) shall summarize the important findings of the literature review, including information related to the above itemized issues and others as discovered during Task 1. This task will be jointly undertaken by UTSA and TTU. UTSA will be responsible for the synthesis and writing of the technical memorandum. Task 2: Physical Modeling – Large-scale Testing. The goal of this task is to develop a physical model to measure water depth both within and on

the pavement surface for various road geometries. The Performing Agency will conduct a set of physical model tests on a reasonably large (but not full scale) apparatus to develop a data set to calibrate the numerical model so it can be used for the parametric study in a subsequent task. Task 2.1: Lab facility modification

It is relatively easy to measure flow depth and velocity on the pavement surface. However, to measure flow properties inside the pavement is not that straightforward. Thus, a specially designed measurement device and procedure will be used inside the pavement. Essentially, an array of holes with a diameter of 0.5 inch will be drilled into the PFC distributed over the test section of the pavement. Visual inspection as well as tape measurement of flow depth inside these holes will be carried out during the experiment. In addition, inclined manometers will be placed on the bottom side of the PFCs to measure the hydrostatic pressure at these hole locations. Task 2.2: Quantification of drainage properties of PFC

The drainage properties (mainly the hydraulic conductivity) of typical PFC materials will be tested using standard procedures, such as constant head and falling head tests. These values will be very important for the calibration of numerical models. Task 2.3: Experiment set

As specified in the research project statement, the physical modeling work will consider various road geometries. Accordingly, four general configurations will be examined: 1. a normal pavement with PFC (baseline), 2. a super-elevation transition, 3. a sag condition, and 4. a near-zero longitudinal slope. The rainfall rates will be adjusted to model three conditions: trace rainfall to only slightly involve the PFC, mid-range rate to fully involve the PFC, but not produce ponding, and high-range to generate ponding and over-pavement flow conditions. Longitudinal (along travel direction) slopes will be varied to be representative of existing conditions. Corresponding to the three conditions, the free-surface profile along the cross slope has three possibilities which are presented in Fig. 1.

0-6843 Exhibit B

Figure 1. Possible free surface profiles along the cross slope.

In the design of various roadway geometries, both an approach and exit slope is anticipated as a super-elevation transition, sag or fly-over return to grade will involve a mid-section slope change. In Table 1 below, the experimental conditions for the slopes are listed.

Task 2 Deliverables: TTU shall lead this task. At the end of this task, the performing agency shall submit technical memorandum 2 (TM2) to the Receiving Agency, which shall include the details of the experiment conditions, results, and analysis.

Task 3: Numerical Modeling.

The water flow induced by rainfall is a complicated dynamic process involving infiltration, seepage and run-off. To cope with the complexity and requirements of TxDOT practice, a comprehensive numerical modeling package will be used to simulate the coupling process of run-off over the pavement surface and subsurface flow (seepage) inside the PFC. Figure 2 shows the schematic of the modeling framework. It consists of two parts: 2D nonlinear hydrodynamic model for the surface run-off and fully 3D subsurface flow model for seepage within the PFC.

0-6843 Exhibit B

Figure 2. Modeling framework for the coupling between surface run-off and subsurface flow in PFC.

Various numerical modeling techniques for shallow flows (sheet flow in this case) have been used for surface run-off problems. They are based on kinematic wave model (KW, balance between gravity and resistance), diffusion wave model (DW, balance between gravity, pressure gradient, and resistance), or dynamic wave model (DYW, considering all forces). KW and DW models are useful for moderate slopes in a super-elevation transition; however, for very small slopes, their applicability is questionable due to oversimplification. The Performing Agency will utilize DYW for the run-off which involves both longitudinal variation and lateral spreading as shown in Fig. 3.

Figure 3. Schematic view of the 2D sheet flow over curbed pavement. The spread T changes along the longitudinal direction. However, water depth H and velocity U are both functions of x

and y.

For the seepage within the PFC, a fully 3D porous media flow equation will be solved. The equation has the form of

0-6843 Exhibit B

5

[𝐶(ℎ) + 𝑆𝑠𝑆𝑤]𝜕ℎ

𝜕𝑡= ∇ ∙ [𝐾(ℎ) ∙ ∇(ℎ + 𝑧)] + 𝑄

where h is the head, K(h) is the hydraulic conductivity, z is the vertical position, and Q is the source term due to rainfall. Q only applies at upper boundary of the PFC.

The run-off and seepage will be coupled through the conservation of mass and momentum at the interface. Task 3.1: Model calibration

The researchers shall calibrate numerical models using the experimental data obtained from Task 2. The slopes, the pavement conditions and rainfall intensity will be the same as the experiments. The hydraulic conductivity obtained from Task 2 will be used in the modeling. The Manning's roughness n will be adjusted until the numerical models yield good predictions of spread and water depth with the experiments. If the calibration is not successful for certain experimental condition, it suggests that the measurement error in the experiment might be too large and unacceptable. It could also be due to the error in the numerical model setup. Both possibilities will be explored. This exercise is necessary to guarantee the high quality of results. Task 3.2: Water flow within and on PFC without underdrain

The focus of this sub-task is to investigate the water within and on PFC without underdrain. Various pavement slopes (transverse and longitudinal), rain intensities, and pavement widths will be studied in this sub-task. The PFC thickness will be 2 inches (50 mm) or otherwise specified by TxDOT. The water surface under various conditions will be developed. The important parameter obtained from this sub-task is the thickness of the water layer, Hw that is a function of rainfall intensity, and pavement slopes (longitudinal and transverse). The hydraulic conductivity of PFC, of course, influences the water flow; however, it is not considered as a variable in this study. The thickness of the water will be presented as pavement transverse slope and rainfall intensity in a figure. A series of figures will be developed to vary the longitudinal slope. For pavement sections with changing longitudinal slopes such as super-elevation transitions listed in Table 1, different combination of approach and exist longitudinal slopes will be investigated to develop figures. Task 3.3: Water flow within and on PFC with underdrain

The focus of this sub-task is to investigate the water within and on PFC with underdrain. Various pavement slopes, rain intensities, and underdrain sizes will be studied in this sub-task. The achieved results will be compared with these from Task 3.2 to obtain the reduction of water thickness, ∆H, due to underdrains. The reduction will be maximal at the locations directly above the underdrains and decrease gradually as getting further from the underdrains as illustrated in Fig. 4. For this sub-task, the reduction of water thickness will be presented in a figure as a function of underdrain sizes and the distance from the underdrains. Since rainfall intensities and pavement slopes are also variables, a number of similar figures will be created to consider the different rainfall intensities and pavement slopes.

Task 3 Deliverables: UTSA shall lead this task. At the end of this task, the performing agency shall submit the technical memorandum 3 (TM3) to the Receiving Agency, which will include the details of the method, numerical models, completed parametric study and important findings.

Task 4: Analysis Procedures, and Design Procedure and Tools for PFCs.

Task 4.1 Analysis procedure

Some of the field conditions may not be fully covered in this study. Task 4.1 serves as a foundation to analyze any particular condition encountered. The major product of this sub-task is a well calibrated numerical model with operation details for the use of TxDOT engineers. Task 4.2 Design tools

For commonly encountered situations, a design procedure will be formed and is outlined in Fig. 5. With the yielded data from Tasks 1-4, the Performing Agency may make modifications.

Figure 5. Preliminary design procedure.

0-6843 Exhibit B

4.3 Design of sag segments

To allow the design procedure shown in Fig. 5 applicable for sag segments, a conversion of water thickness, Hw is needed. The conversion follows the principle of mass conservation of water, namely the total amount of rainfall for two equal areas should be the same, which leads to the conversion shown in Fig. 6. First, the total volume of water for the none-sag segment, having an area equal to the projected area of the sag segment, is calculated. This volume should be equal to the volume of water at the sag segment. Thus, the water thickness, Hw' at the sag segment can be calculated. Once the water thickness is obtained, the design procedure presented in Fig. 5 can be used to design underdrain. It is noteworthy that the calculation of the total water volume may need to consider the shape of the water surface.

Figure 6. Conversion to water thickness for sag segment

Task 4 Deliverables: UTSA shall lead this task in writing up the analysis and design procedures and the detailed documentation on how the use the design tools developed in this project. TTU shall participate in this task by summarizing the relevant parts of work. Task 5: Project Management

The research team shall implement a project management plan that will foster communication between the research team and the Receiving Agency Project Team, and ensure the results of the research are implementable to TxDOT. This project management plan includes the preparation of monthly progress reports as well as frequent meetings between the Research Team and TxDOT. To ensure a continuous flow of information between the Performing Agency and TxDOT, the Project Supervisor (PS) will provide the TxDOT Project Manager (PM) with monthly status reports. The PS shall provide status reports within the first five working days at the beginning of each month and will continue throughout the duration of the project. In addition to monthly progress reports, the research team shall meet with the TxDOT Project Team at least twice a year to discuss progress on the research, obtain direction, and address any critical issues that may impact progress or implementation of the research results. The anticipated meeting schedule for the project is as follows:

A kick-off meeting within the first two weeks from the notice to proceed. A mid-term progress meeting approximately 18 months after the notice to proceed. A wrap-up meeting one month before the end date of the project.

0-6843 Exhibit B
