Field Applications on Environment-Friendly Permeable Pavements Reinforced by Geocell

Oil bio-degradation in permeable pavements by microbial communities.

This paper reports on continuing research at Coventry University into the improvement of highway water quality following flow through a permeable pavement. Such pavements have been shown elsewhere to be efficient in-situ bio-reactors, capable of degrading large quantities of clean motor oil. Further laboratory research, reported here, demonstrates that a commercially obtained oil degrading, mic...

Geocell-Reinforced Crushed Stone Base for Low-Volume Roads

Crushed stone bases are widely used for low-volume roads. However, shear strength of the crushed stone materials can be vastly improved by confining the material in geocellular confinement systems or geocells. Geocells are 3-dimensional honeycomb-like structures. The objective of this study was to test a geocell design with crushed stone (AB-3) in-fill and a thin hot-mix asphalt (HMA) surface l...

Design and Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements

Effective pollutant retention capacity of permeable pavements for infiltrated road runoffs determined by laboratory tests.

The infiltration of urban runoff always implies an entrance of pollutants into the soil and ground water. Due to legal regulations in many communes there is no longer any permission needed for stormwater infiltration, if administrative regulations and the requirements of standards are observed. The results of a research project carried out under the heading "Development of an assessment procedu...
