Evaluation of Surface Infiltration Testing Procedures in Permeable Pavement Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ASTM method for measuring the infiltration rate of in-place pervious concrete provides limited guidance on how to select test locations and how results should be interpreted to assess surface condition and maintenance ...
Assessment of Clogging Dynamics in Permeable Pavement Systems with Time Domain Reflectometers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Infiltration is a primary functional mechanism in green infrastructure storm water controls. This study used time domain reflectometers (TDRs) to measure spatial infiltration and assess clogging dynamics of permeable ...
Evaluating the Accuracy of Common Runoff Estimation Methods for New Impervious Hot-Mix Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurately predicting runoff volume from impervious surfaces for water quality design events is an important step to meet water quality and infiltration design targets for green infrastructure stormwater control measures. ...

Evaluation of Surface and Subsurface Processes in Permeable Pavement Infiltration Trenches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The hydrologic performance of permeable pavement systems can be affected by clogging at the pavement surface and/or clogging at the interface where the subsurface storage layer meets the underlying soil. The objective of ...
Impacts of Construction Activity on Bioretention Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bioretention cells are incorporated as part of low impact development (LID) because of their ability to release influent runoff as exfiltration to the soil or evapotranspiration to the atmosphere. However, little care is ...
Impacts of Media Depth on Effluent Water Quality and Hydrologic Performance of Undersized Bioretention Cells
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fill media and excavation volume are the main costs in constructing bioretention cells, but the importance and impact of media depth in these systems is relatively unknown. Two sets of loamy-sand-filled bioretention cells ...
Divergent Vegetation Growth Patterns Relative to Bioinfiltration Unit Size and Plant Placement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In 2009, the U.S. EPA constructed six experimental bioinfiltration units (BUs) at the Edison Environmental Center in Edison, New Jersey. They were designed as two sets of three BUs with drainage area to surface area ratios of
Modeling the Hydrologic Processes of a Permeable Pavement System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A permeable pavement system can capture stormwater to reduce runoff volume and flow rate, improve onsite groundwater recharge, and enhance pollutant controls within the site. A new unit process model for evaluating the ...
Field Study of the Ability of Two Grassed Bioretention Cells to Reduce Storm-Water Runoff Pollution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two grassed bioretention cells including internal storage zones (ISZs) were monitored for
