Part I: Permeable Pavement Systems!
STRUCTURED SURFACE PLUS:
Surface Infiltration
Underground Storage
Pollutant Removal: - on top - in ground - in reservoir - to air?4
Permeable Pavement Systems!
What is the surface?
- Pervious Concrete
- Porous Asphalt
- Permeable Pavers
What depth should the
aggregate bed be?
-For structure (loads)
-For water storage
(runon and storms)
- For frost depth
5
Permeable pavements on slopes?
Remember it is a System
Be careful that the water from surrounding areas (runon) does not flow too fast and overshoot!6
What is Pervious Concrete?
Mixture of :
• Coarse aggregate,
• Cementitious material,
• Admixtures, and
• Water.
• Carefully controlled amounts of water &
cementitious materials are used to create a
paste that forms a thick coating around
aggregate particles without flowing off during
mixing & placing.

Unique Structure of Pervious
Concrete
•Vertical Porosity Distribution
• Top Transition Zone
•Micro/Macro Pores
•Connected/Disconnected Pores8
Porosity of Pervious Concrete
•Total Porosity Ranges: ~13%-40%
•Recommended: ~20-25%
•Tortuousity (vertical and horizontal flow)
•Compressive Strength(not used for specifying):
Typically 1000-3000 psi. (7-20 Mpa)

Part V: Maintenance Options?
• Blowing…….not usually
• Street sweepers/cleaners
• Powerwashing
• Special equipment
34
Cleaned Sloan! Woohoo!
• September 2015
•Hose and Nozzle
•Upper ~15 feet
• Lower ~20 feet
• Just as fast now as center portion which has
not been cleaned after 3 winters, but still
functioning well.
