Report to detail current and potential damage of piping to highways in West as well as to point out some ways in which this damage may be minimized; observations of piping phenomena and interpretation of processes involved, made it possible to categorize piping into desiccation-stress cracks, variable permeability-subsidence, and entrainment; examples are chosen to show how piping affects abutments and wingwalls, piers, drainage ditches, culverts, embankments, and roadways.
