The Link between Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP) Design and Nutrient Removal

The Effects of Concrete Pavement Mix Design Parameters on Durability under Freeze and Thaw Condition

This paper is based on an experimental research that examined the effects of concrete`s major parameters on durability of concrete pavements and curbs under freezing and thawing cycles. These parameters include concrete mix design parameters such as water-cement ratio, fine aggregate percentage and using air entraining admixture and simulating real freeze-thaw cycles that infrastructures underg...

Concrete Pavement Crack and Seat Performance and Overlay Design

Long-term In-situ Infiltration Performance of Permeable Concrete Block Pavement

Since it is a design criteria for road drainage and sewer systems, the infiltration performance of permeable concrete block pavement (CBP) is of important significance during the service life of a road construction. Due to the entrainment of mineral and organic fines into the pores of porous concrete blocks or into the aggregates used in joints or openings, the irreversible reduction of water p...

Measuring and Analyzing Pavement Texture Concrete Pavement Surface Characteristics Program

Introduction Pavement texture is defined by the irregularities on a pavement surface that deviate from an ideal, perfectly flat surface. As shown in Figure 1, the World Road Association (PIARC) has established standard categories of texture, classified by wavelength. These categories include microtexture (wavelengths up to 0.5 mm), macrotexture (0.5 to 50 mm), megatexture (50 to 500 mm), and ro...

Factors Influencing Stormwater Mitigation in Permeable Pavement

Permeable pavement (PP) is used worldwide to mitigate surface runoff in urban areas. Various studies have examined the factors governing the hydrologic performance of PP. However, relatively little is known about the relative importance of these governing factors and the long-term hydrologic performance of PP. This study applied numerical models—calibrated and validated using existing experimen...
