Abstract:Pervious Concrete Pavement (PCP), as one of open graded friction courses (OGFCs), has become attractive in roadway and parking lot constructions because of its economic, structural, and environmental advantages. It can facilitate the recharge of groundwater and reduce storm water runoff. PCP is made of large aggregates with little to no fine aggregates and the mixture contains little or no sand, creating a substantial void content. The voids ratio in PCP overlay layer is generally 18% to 22%. The goal of this study is to examine the removal of the major heavy metals copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in roadway runoffs through PCP and Modified PCP (MPCP). The latter is a PCP that contains strategically selected additives. The objectives of this study include: (1) To identify functional additives based on their commercial availability, cost, and potential adsorption capacity of heavy metals; (2) To fabricate PCP and MPCP samples with identified additives and test their physical and mechanical properties important for highway pavement; and (3) To examine the removal of heavy metals with the PCP and MPCP samples from highway runoffs through batch and dynamic adsorption tests.
