• Abstract:
  Previous studies were conducted at the Randolph Park and Ride regarding the implementation and performance of porous concrete (PC) in northern climates. The studies examined field surface infiltration capacity, the effects of plowing on surface infiltration capacity and the PC implementation. The study concluded that PC surface infiltration was adequate for the predicted weather in the region. The surface infiltration deceased over time due to clogging of PC pores from fines. Plowing seemed to wear the material to the point that it reduced the surface infiltration capacity. The application of salt to the surface of the PC affected the surface infiltration in a similar fashion.
