Fly ash-amended pervious concrete pavement followed by bamboo bioretention basin with Dracaena sanderiana for urban stormwater runoff control
HighlightsOptimized pervious concrete pavements were integrated with bamboo bioretention.Stormwater runoff volume reduction and water quality performance were determined.Leaf chlorophyll and mass of bamboos (Dracaena sanderiana) were monitored.A PCP-BBB was an effective green infrastructure for stormwater management.
AbstractThis study assessed the feasibility of pervious concrete pavement (PCP) followed by a bamboo bioretention basin (BBB) with Dracaena sanderiana for urban stormwater volume control and water quality enhancement. Two PCPs (nPCP and tPCP) having a permeability of ∼4.5mm/s were prepared with optimized mix designs. A control impervious concrete pavement (CP) was also prepared. Results showed that both PCP-BBB’s outperformed CP-BBB not only in runoff volume reduction, but also in pollutant removal; both PCPs removed a considerably high amount of pollutants, especially in fecal coliform and phosphate removal. tPCP-BBB improved water quality better than nPCP-BBB in terms of chemical oxygen demand and pH. Additionally, D. sanderiana grew healthier in tPCP-BBB than in nPCP-BBB. Production costs for tPCP and CP were similar, whereas nPCP production was twice as expensive.
