The Effect of Rainfall on Road Surface Performance

ABSTRAK

It has been the experience of all countries throughout the world that our climate is changing. It is predicted that climate change will affect rainfall patterns with increased frequency and intensity. This paper considers the effect of water on the performance of road surfacing materials based on laboratory test analysis. During a rainfall event, the road is being wet and the water can also fill in the void structure of the road material through joins, cracks and road soulders. A simple laboratory method was developed to assess how different types of asphalt dried out after a rainfall event and found a distinct difference between the more impermeable materials and the more permeable materials used.
