Researchers experimentally evaluated the mechanical strength, permeability, and carbon dioxide emission intensity of ...

The city of Titusville is fighting flooding with "special sidewalks" that actually drain water instead of pooling it. It’s being used in private business parking lots and small portions of sidewalks ...

EHU researchers have explored how a sustainable urban drainage system built in Legazpi has affected various rainwater parameters, and have concluded that a permeable pavement has improved the quality ...

Permeable pavement allows rainfall to pass through, reducing stormwater runoff and pollution. The most common cause of permeable pavement failure is clogging from sediment and organic debris. Regular ...

The environmental and financial benefits of pervious concrete for paving commercial parking lots have long been recognized in the warmer climates of the United States. But as pervious concrete makes ...

Streets in Shoreview, Minnesota, have been repaved with permeable pavement. Typically used to manage stormwater runoff, permeable pavement is proving to be a useful technique for eliminating the use ...

In 2020, Ursinus College, in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, completed construction of a new Student Commons building to better meet the needs of the college and, hopefully, serve as the leading edge of a ...

In a city better known for concrete, steel and towering buildings, Chicago has been experimenting with a different kind of urban infrastructure: alleys that let rainwater soak into the ground instead ...

Permeable Pavements, billed as “the first comprehensive handbook for the proper design, construction, and maintenance of permeable pavement systems,” is now available. Permeable pavements enable ...

Pervious concrete has come a long way in the last 20 years, with several significant developments along the way. Pervious concrete now has its’ own ACI Committee (522). The first ACI specification for ...

The pore-like structure of permeable pavements may help protect coho salmon by preventing tire wear particles and related contaminants from entering stormwater runoff, according to a recent study.

New Orleans is a city often inundated by water and, just as often, a city frustrated in its attempts to deal with it. Now, joining a movement that supporters say will help mitigate flooding and soil ...
