MARYLAND HIGHWAY DRAINAGE STUDY. VOLUME VIII. A PHYSICAL SIMULATION MODEL OF RUNOFF INTO HIGHWAY CRACKS

An experimental investigation was conducted concerning the runoff from a simulated highway surface, the interception of runoff by a crack and flow from a crack into the subbase material of a highway. An artificial rainfall generator supplied flow to the simulated highway surface.
