Installation And Evaluation Of Permeable Pavement At Walden Pond State Reservation, Irvine W. Wei
Irvine W. Wei
Permeable pavements have been proposed for use in controlling surface runoff. A test installation was constructed at the Walden Pond State Reservation in Concord, Massachusetts to determine the feasibility of using permeable pavements in the New England environment. A brief history of the development and use of permeable pavements is provided. Background information, design methodology, and construction techniques are described for the data collection system and the parking area itself. All the following data are presented and discussed: mix gradation; pavement density; pavement, ground, and air temperatures; flow through permeable pavements; water quantity; water quality; and structural stability.
