Runoff infiltration to permeable paving in clogged conditions
The effect of varying runoff on a clogged permeable surface was analysed using a specifically designed laboratory rig consisting of a variable gradient testing frame, a rain simulator and water collecting chambers. The results indicate that the apparatus can be used successfully to test the runoff resistance of concrete blocks in permeable surfaces. The results indicate that a surface at 2% gradient that is clogged with crushed construction debris still permits significant levels of infiltration. ; This work forms part of a research project entitled ‘Development of new structures of pavements for the biodegradation of hydrocarbons (FIDICA)’, financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology with funds of the PGE (General Budget of the State) and of the FEDER (European Funds for Regional Development), reference REN2003-05278/TECNO. We would also like to acknowledge the collaboration of Coventry University in this work and the support of the following companies: Formpave Ltd., Bloques Montserrat SL, Fibertex Nonwovens and Danosa.
