Drainage of surface water from the pavement structure is an important parameter for preserving the designed period and safety during the operation of the pavement structure. The paper presents research on the relationship between the efficiency of drains depending on the cross slope. When the correct selection of transverse slopes and the collection of rain runoff from the catchment area of the road, the safety of the operating conditions itself increases.
By changing the transverse slope, the parameters in terms of water runoff speed and drain efficiency also change. During the analysis, this paper also took into account the hydrological parameters for the site where the section in question is located.
The analysis in this paper aims to show how the correct selection of cross slopes of pavement structures can be of key importance for the efficiency of the drain, and thus the efficient drainage of surface water from the pavement structure.
