Hydraulic Characterization of Interlocking Concrete Permeable Pavement
The environmental benefits of permeable pavements are vast and include stormwater quantity reduction, stormwater quality improvement, urban heat island mitigation, and groundwater recharge, among others. Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements, PICP explicitly infiltrate water, a new concept to …

Hydraulic Design of Interlocking Concrete Permeable Pavement
… focus of this thesis is on the structural BMP, Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP). PICP is a type of pervious pavement that will increase the amount of water infiltrated through joint spacing filled with open graded aggregate above an open-graded base and sub-base, creating a …

Artificial Intelligence-Based Prediction of Permeable Pavement Surface Infiltration Rates
Permeable pavements are a type of low impact development technology that is an alternative to conventional asphalt pavements. These pavements are used to address urban stormwater runoff concerns through infiltration and storage. Overtime, sediments carried by stormwater runoff degrade the …

Urban Stormwater Management: Treatment of Heavy Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons with Bioretention and Permeable Pavement Technologies
… of two LID technologies, bioretention and permeable pavements in treating PAHs and common urban runoff metals such as lead, copper and zinc. Select case studies are used to synthesize data collected in the field and in the laboratory. Both technologies appear to be effective at treating …

Development of unsaturated flow functions for low impact development stormwater management systems filter media and flow routines for hydrological modeling of permeable pavement systems
… of LID systems. The water movement through a permeable pavement system was monitored for over a year and it was found that the system functions under unsaturated conditions. Saturation was never observed at any levels in the system over the period of study. Solving Richards' Equation, which is …

Evaluation of stormwater BMP alternatives in the Malden River Watershed
… and cost data for bioretention systems, swales, permeable pavement, and constructed wetlands in a portion of the Malden River watershed. Due to space constraints, bioretention systems and swales were found to have limited applicability within the streets of the study site. Permeable pavement was …

Water Fluxes in Soil-Pavement Systems: Integrating Trees, Soils and Infrastructure
… pits) which recently are being covered with permeable pavements. Pavements are known to alter soil moisture and temperature, and may have implications for tree growth, root development and depth, drought resilience, and sidewalk lifting. Furthermore, tree pits are often the only unsealed soil …

Runoff Impacts And Lid Mitigation Techniques For Mansionization Based Stormwater Effects In Fairfax County, Va
… basins, infiltration trenches, amended soils, permeable pavement, and cisterns. Results indicate that placing bioretention basins or infiltration trenches on 0.5% of the subwatershed or amending 20% of the open space with soil composts would reduce the runoff volume back to the 1997 quantity …

Toward sustainable stormwater management : overcoming barriers to green infrastructure
… techniques, such as raingardens, green roofs, permeable pavement, street trees, and rain barrels, that infiltrate, evapotranspirate, capture, and reuse stormwater onsite. With the added benefits of improving air quality, land values, wildlife habitat, urban heat island, and urban aesthetics, …

The link between Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP) design and nutrient removal
… associated with the construction of ‘hard' impermeable surfaces such as roofs and roads, results in increased stormwater runoff peak flows and volumes and their associated pollutants into downstream receiving waters compared with the pre-development state unless mitigated through Sustainable …

The impact of unwashed aggregate on water quality emanating from permeable pavements
… runoff, through a multi-objective approach. Permeable pavement systems (PPSs) are one of the most widely-adopted SuDS technologies in South Africa. South Africa is a water scarce country and the sustainable provision of water to its citizens is one of the most significant challenges facing …

Hydraulic design of pervious concrete highway shoulders
… on the hydraulic response of pervious concrete pavements exposed to sheet flowing water. Pervious concrete samples were placed in a hydraulic flume to determine capture discharges, infiltration rates, and by-pass flowrates for a broad range of void contents, across a broad range of pavement …

An investigation of the treatment efficacy of permeable pavements for water quality performance in South Africa
… for use in irrigation or other suitable uses. Permeable pavements are a form of SuDS that provide on-source treatment and storage of stormwater while retaining the functionality of hardened surfaces. They have been studied extensively in the international literature but no studies in a South …

Identifying Key Factors for the Implementation and Maintenance of Green Stormwater Infrastructure
… GSI facilities investigated were bioretention, permeable pavement, sand filters, infiltration trenches, and vegetated swales. This study first highlights the most important construction and maintenance items based on relevant studies and state stormwater manuals. Fairfax County, VA was used as a …

Characterization of co-benefits of green stormwater infrastructure across ecohydrologic regions in the United States
… (GSI) systems such as rain gardens, permeable pavement and bioswales are commonly used in municipalities to reduce urban flooding and water pollution. In conjunction with these direct benefits, GSI systems provide additional social and ecological "co-benefits". Our goal was to …
