5
Motivations
The climate change will lead to an increase in The frequency of extreme precipitation events
Snow melt periodsFlooding on the roads
Hence the number of incidences on roads will increase.

Road disruptions
Damages on the roads due to climate change including more frequent floods
![Page 7: Session 70 Zahra Kalantari](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55859091d8b42ac76d8b47eb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Aims Analyse how climate change directly
or indirectly affects road dewatering and drainage facilities in Sweden
Review the existing problems in road drainage systems focusing on the current Swedish climate
![Page 8: Session 70 Zahra Kalantari](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55859091d8b42ac76d8b47eb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Aims
Identify future problems considering the climate change including more frequent flood
Study the mitigation regarding the extreme weather events and climate change

Methodology
International state-of-the-art review Questionnaires

Common causes of road damages
Water, the major cause of road damages Reduced bearing capacity of the road by water Clogged culverts inlets/outlets
![Page 11: Session 70 Zahra Kalantari](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55859091d8b42ac76d8b47eb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
The insufficient maintenance in form of ditch cleaning and edging
![Page 12: Session 70 Zahra Kalantari](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55859091d8b42ac76d8b47eb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Lack of planning
Lack of knowledge
Standing water due to improper construction slope along the ditches
No overview over the shortcomings in road drainage
![Page 13: Session 70 Zahra Kalantari](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55859091d8b42ac76d8b47eb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Limitation in ditch cleaning due to el-/tel cables
Intervals of culvert inspection and clearance
Location of the culverts and road drainage exposed, sensitive and critical to high flows
200-400 million SEK per year in lost efficiency
![Page 14: Session 70 Zahra Kalantari](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55859091d8b42ac76d8b47eb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Frost heave movements and deformation of the ground surface
In cold climates the risk of frost damage is magnified when water is present
Washed-away roads and landslides due to
Flooding and high flows Inadequate road drainage and
dewatering system dimension Improper road maintenance
![Page 15: Session 70 Zahra Kalantari](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55859091d8b42ac76d8b47eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Impact of adjacent environment on road infrastructure
Agricultural area Changes on hydrological
condition due to land use changes
Drained water from the agricultural area

An often-repeated adage in road construction and maintenance business is:
“The three most important things to understand in building and
maintaining road are drainage, drainage, and drainage”
