Experimental Investigation and Estimation of Low Cost Pavements in Roads for Storm Water Management

Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 5

Abstract

As the cities grow, the number of impermeable surfaces those that do not allow water to infiltrate into the ground can increase. Managing runoff in urban areas becomes difficult and forms flooding. If it is not properly maintained, the storm water runoff forms the negative effect on nearby surface water. The implementation of the permeable pavement increases the infiltration rate of water into the ground surface and also increases the filtration of rain water. This will be difficult to find the cost-effective pavement by hydrological assumptions and also the installation of permeable pavement is costly than compared to the impermeable pavements. Even though it is costlier, it gives higher benefits and improves the water sustainability. This paper gives the estimation of suitable cost effective permeable pavement for the selected site in K. K. Nagar, Trichy.
