A Pilot-Scale Trial of Reservoir Pavements for Drainage Attenuation

Development of infrastructures often interferes with runoff because hard paved areas interrupt the natural runoff patterns. Long term problems can result from inadequate runoff such as flooding, structural damage, erosion and costly disruptions to transport and pedestrian traffic. This report details a trial of flexible pavements with porous concrete designed to redistribute or reduce runoff, store water for slower release and resemble the natural contoured drainage model. An assessment was made of a variety of pavements types and the hydraulic and structural behaviorrs needed to alleviate high runoff areas.
