Abstract Urban waterlogging is a critical challenge in rapidly developing cities, leading to pavement deterioration, traffic disruptions, and environmental concerns. Conventional drainage systems often fail to efficiently manage stormwater due to inadequate design, clogging, and increased impervious surfaces. This study explores the mitigation of urban waterlogging through the integration of geo-synthetics and engineered drainage layers in flexible pavement systems.

Geo-synthetics, including geotextiles, geogrids, and geomembranes, play a vital role in improving subgrade stability, filtration, and drainage performance. When combined with properly designed drainage layers, such as permeable base and sub-base courses, these materials facilitate rapid water infiltration and lateral drainage, reducing surface runoff and preventing water accumulation. The incorporation of such systems enhances pavement durability, minimizes maintenance costs, and improves overall road performance under saturated conditions.

The research evaluates the effectiveness of different geo-synthetic materials and drainage configurations through laboratory testing and case studies. Results indicate a significant reduction in waterlogging and improved load-bearing capacity of pavements. The study concludes that adopting geo-synthetic-reinforced drainage layers in flexible pavements offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for urban stormwater management, particularly in flood-prone areas.
