This paper analyses the defects of current permeable pavement. Inspired by the honeycomb bionic structure which has superior mechanical properties and structural efficiency, an innovative “honeycomb-like” model of permeable brick measuring 190 × 100 × 60 mm in size was proposed and constructed. The mechanical strength and permeability performance of the honeycomb permeable brick were experimentally assessed by universal testing machine and artificial rainfall equipment, respectively. Ex-periment results demonstrated an excellent performance in compressive toler-ance and permeability. The critical damage load (Fc) and compressive strength (Ec) of honeycomb brick were 336.46 KN and 17.70 MPa, which were 18.06% and 11.04% higher than that of ordinary solid permeable bricks, respectively, compared with the conventional permeable bricks. The honeycomb brick is capable of increasing the permeability coefficient by 19.2% and 11.96% under rainfall repetition period of 20 and 30 years respectively. These results demon-strated that the permeable brick with honeycomb-like structure can provide a new paving strategy for the construction of sponge city.展开更多

The Earth is a very resourceful form of energy, using the natural solar energy collection and heat storage capabilities as an infinite heat source/heat sink at the base of permeable pavements, which can provide excellent temperature gradients for GHP＇s. Experimental rigs were setup up at The University of Edinbttrgh for a combined permeable pavement and GHP system. At the base of a pavement structure （approximately 1 meter） below the ground＇s surface, temperatures are constant of 10℃ in the U.K all year round. The GHP performance efficiency was analysed by the coefficient of performance （COP） in a heating cycle and the energy efficiency ratio （EER） in a cooling cycle. The mean COP and EER for both systems averaged between 2-4.5 and 3-5 respectively. The combined GHP and pavement structure operated at an optimum efficiency for both heating and cooling cycles and has shown to be unaffected by higher summer or lower winter temperatures. This hybrid system is an attractive renewable energy technology and has additional environmental benefits such as urban runoff reuse and recycling.展开更多

Belém, one of the main cities in the region, suffers from intense flooding due to urbanization growth and the disorderly occupation of floodplains. The objective was to evaluate the producing of pervious concrete that meets the mechanical and hydraulic performance criteria for permeable pavement molded on site and to simulate the replacement of the entire public walkway system of a hydrographic basin in Belém in order to verify if this measure would alter the permeability of the basin and meet minimum requirements of at least 25% permeable area. The properties of three mixtures of pervious concrete with aggregates of different grading were evaluated. The permeability and flexural strength of all blends were higher than the minimum required for use as a permeable pavement for light vehicle traffic. The simulation showed that replacement of the public walkway by permeable pavement increased the permeable area of the watershed from 19 to 23%, changing from a poor condition to an acceptable level. The results indicate the potential to improve the performance of drainage systems through the wider use of permeable pavement associated with traditional structural measures.展开更多
