Characterization of Infiltration Capacity of Permeable Pavements with Porous Asphalt Surface Using Cantabrian Fixed Infiltrometer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Porous asphalt is used in Permeable Pavement Systems, but it is sensitive to surface clogging, which leads to a loss in its infiltration capacity. Test methods based on the use of permeable pavement models, which are ...
Long-Term Simulation of a System for Catchment, Pretreatment, and Treatment of Polluted Runoff Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of pollutants in runoff on the environment have forced the development of several water treatment systems with the aim of reducing this kind of pollution before its final discharge. Nevertheless, many of these ...
Infiltration Capacity Assessment of Urban Pavements Using the LCS Permeameter and the CP Infiltrometer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the Cantabrian portable infiltrometer (CP infiltrometer), a specially designed device based on rainfall simulation for the assessment of the infiltration capacity of all types of urban pavements. Several ...
Relationship between Urban Runoff Pollutant and Catchment Characteristics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Much research has been done to determine levels of contamination in runoff from urban and rural catchment areas. Some authors compare their results with other authors or look for relationships between the variations of ...
