2. Drainage gradient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_gradient

   Drainage gradient (DG) is a term in road design, defined as the combined slope due to road surface cross slope (CS) and longitudinal slope (hilliness). Although the term may not be used, the concept is also used in roof design and landscape architecture. If the drainage gradient is too low, rain and melt water drainage will be insufficient.

3. Grading (earthworks) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_(earthworks)

   Section through railway track and foundation showing the sub-grade. Grading in civil engineering and landscape architectural construction is the work of ensuring a level base, or one with a specified slope, [1] for a construction work such as a foundation, the base course for a road or a railway, or landscape and garden improvements, or surface drainage.

4. Cross slope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_slope

   Cross section of a road. 1. Gutter; 2. Shoulder; 3. Sub-base; 4. Base course; 5. Asphalt. Cross slope, cross fall or camber is a geometric feature of pavement surfaces: the transverse slope with respect to the horizon.

5. Permeable paving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeable_paving

   Unlike a full-depth porous asphalt pavement, OGFCs do not drain water to the base of a pavement. Instead, they allow water to infiltrate the top 3/4 to 1.5 inch of the pavement and then drain out to the side of the roadway. This can improve the friction characteristics of the road and reduce road spray. [27]

6. Soil gradation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Gradation

   A poorly graded soil will have better drainage than a well graded soil, [2] if it is not high in clay quality. Soil is graded as either well graded or poorly graded. [ 3 ] Soil gradation is determined by analyzing the results of a sieve analysis [ 4 ] [ 5 ] or a hydrometer analysis .

7. Pavers (flooring) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavers_(flooring)

   The base material should either be 3/4" crushed stone (to allow water to drain through it) for a 1/4" crushed stone bedding, or 3/4" minus crushed stone (to prevent sand from sinking through it) for a concrete sand bedding. The base should be compacted every 6".
