Clog-Resistant Permeable Pavement: Methods of Performance Measurement

Permeable pavements are considered to be one of the effective measures for LID (i.e. Low Impact Development) and SUDS Sustainable Urban Drainage System) globally. The major three types permeable (a) pervious concrete (PC), (b) previous asphalt (PA), (c) interlocked paver (PICP). performance all is satisfactory at start service life but greatly reduced if not maintained on time. Considering long lengths pavements, measurement permeability different locations a cumbersome tedious task. Therefore, ease realistic results vital importance. In this study, ASTM C1701/C1701M—17a single ring infiltrometer, Stormwater Infiltration Field Test (SWIFT), NCAT permeameter Methods discussed in detail examined their relative setting-up, versatility performance. It concluded that infiltrometer most versatile, easy set up produces accurate results.
