Abstract:Although porous pavement use has been accepted as a successful stormwater management practice in warm climates, application in regions with colder climates, like New England, is still under investigation. The Randolph Park and Ride Site, which is the area of interest of this specific study, is the first porous concrete site constructed in Vermont. The site, which was built in 2008 and is under use up to today, is quite unique in terms of the geology of the underlying materials and also the extensive instrumentation that has been applied in the field. The purpose of building this site was in part "commercial", to provide the town of Randolph with a public parking lot, and part "experimental", aiming at giving insight to the optimal design of porous pavements in New England. This study focuses on the experimental use of the site.
