Sediment build-up on roads and footpaths of a residential area
This paper presents results on the characterisation of sediment build-up on roads and footpaths of a residential catchment in Dublin, Ireland. Compared to power and exponential functions, the linear function provided the best fit of the road sediment build-up in terms of total and size-fractionated loads. Significant road sediment build-up rates were recorded for the majority of size fractions on the three street zones sampled, however it was not possible to separate build-up rates between size fractions due to random variation in sediment loads. There was a significant difference in total road sediment build-up between two of the sampling zones, which was likely due to the proximity to a highly trafficked road. Build-up rates on footpaths could not be separated from random variation. Footpath sediment loads were between 6% and 22% of road sediment loads, with texture depth identified as an important difference between these surfaces.
