• Abstract:
  Pervious ; pavement ; systems ; are ; now ; being ; recognized ; as ; a ; best ; management ; practice ; by ; the ; Environmental ; Protection ; Agency ; and ; the ; state ; of ; Florida. ; The ; pervious ; concrete ; system ; is ; designed ; to ; have ; enhanced ; pore ; sizes ; in ; the ; surface ; layer ; compared ; to ; conventional ; pavement ; types, ; encouraging ; flow ; of ; water ; through ; the ; material. ; This ; research ; project ; investigated ; the ; infiltration ; rates, ; rejuvenation ; techniques, ; sustainable ; storage ; of ; the ; components ; and ; complete ; systems, ; water ; quality, ; and ; the ; strength ; properties ; of ; pervious ; concrete ; pavements. ; The ; work ; was ; conducted ; at ; the ; field ; labs ; of ; the ; Stormwater ; Management ; Academy ; at ; UCF. ; The ; Flexipave ; systems ; indicate ; that ; they ; perform ; as ; intended ; unless ; subjected ; to ; excessive ; sediment ; loads ; or ; high ; ground ; water ; table. ; Maintenance ; by ; the ; use ; of ; a ; vacuum ; sweeper ; truck ; was ; successful ; in ; removing ; surface ; sediments ; but ; is ; ineffective ; at ; removal ; of ; deep ; penetrating ; sediments. ; However, ; it ; is ; much ; harder ; to ; clog ; these ; in ; the ; first ; place ; due ; to ; a ; more ; open ; surface ; nature. ; The ; reduction ; in ; rates ; is ; only ; observed ; when ; significant ; amounts ; of ; sediments ; enter ; the ; system ; and ; migrate ; into ; deeper ; locations. ; The ; sustainable ; storage ; of ; the ; entire ; system ; was ; found ; to ; be ; about ; 10%. ; This ; pervious ; pavement ; system ; is ; recommended ; as ; an ; effective ; infiltration ; BMP ; that ; will ; perform ; well ; throughout ; its ; service ; life. ; The ; average ; compressive ; strength ; is ; about ; 115 ; psi ; and ; the ; average ; modulus ; of ; rupture ; is ; around ; 170 ; psi.
