Urban areas, characterized by impervious surfaces, produce storm water runoff which during unexpected heavy rainfall exceeds the carrying capacity of the storm water drainage system causing urban flooding. Transport expressways are massive hard-scaped surfaces generating large amounts of polluted surface run-off during the rains. In the case of the Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises (NICE) Expressway at Bengaluru, India, which is also a tolled road, the demonstration is about using the surface run-off or stormwater as a resource for developing urban green infrastructure complementing the transport grey infrastructure. The functions of urban green infrastructure include air quality improvement, microclimate modification, storm water management, biodiversity, recreational opportunities and visual aesthetics. Here we show, that the surface runoff or stormwater is effectively channelled to the areas around, to mark the beginning of a well-planned and executed drainage system, maintenance-free landscape and technically a sound, urban green infrastructure in the form of site-specific models of Rain Gardens. The same models can be used in other transport expressways as they are the indicators of economic growth and connectivity although would require to be customized as per the city and its climatic conditions. This paper explores three different scenarios with a typical model of development of green infrastructure along the transport expressway tailormade for each of the situations. While in the first and the second models, the Central Rain Garden and the Edge Rain Garden have been respectively proposed, the third model explores a comparatively complex scenario in the form of an Intersection Rain Garden.

“…Pervious concrete (PCO) is most often used in locations with limited traffic and load: pedestrian areas, bicycle routes, car parks, zoo paving, bridge embankments, solar energy storage systems, tide water control, etc. [ 1 , 2 ]. The advantage of pervious concrete is the ability to control temperature and humidity of pavements [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Pervious concrete (PCO) has many advantages and applications, such as water pooling reduction, noise attenuation, replenishment of groundwater reserves, etc. However, the use of pervious concrete is limited due to its low compressive strength and durability, especially as a result of portlandite leaching from concrete exposed to flowing water. The effects of active additives (nano SiO2 (NS) spent catalyst generated at the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCCw) and paper sludge waste burned at 700 °C (PSw)) along with particle size distribution of the coarse aggregate on the properties and durability of pervious concrete were determined in the research. Active additives used in the binder were found to reduce portlandite leaching from concrete exposed to flowing water to significantly increase the resistance of concrete to freezing and thawing cycles and to increase sound absorption, compressive strength and infiltration rate. In addition, industrial waste (FCCCw and PSw) used as active additives significantly reduced the use of clinker in concrete applied in the construction of water pervious systems. The coarse aggregate size distribution had the greatest effect on the density, ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV), porosity, compressive strength and infiltration rate of pervious concrete.

“…Porous concrete, also known as pervious concrete, comprises coarse particles with a uniform gradation size, resulting in a bigger pore size that allows water to drain through it. Several kinds of research found that porous concrete is for concrete pavement to increase porosity and water absorption [1], [2]. However, due to its low strength, many kinds of research were made to improve porous concrete compressive strength by using additives and many other treatments for increasing its capability on carrying load [1], [3], [4], [5].…”

Predicting the infiltration rate on inclined surfaces is a pending case, especially when compared to rain intensity. The inclined surface has less ability to generate ponding, leading to higher runoff and higher erosion rates. In the rainy season, on the highway with a very steep slope, erosion usually occurs and becomes very dangerous. By using porous concrete, it is expected to receive higher infiltration and less runoff. This study aimed to determine the impact of the inclined surface of porous concrete on infiltration capacity. The research was conducted using both natural coarse aggregate and recycled coarse aggregate made from concrete waste. The infiltration and permeability test were conducted using porous concrete slabs under 0 to 30% inclined surface. It was shown that the infiltration rate is getting lower as the surface is being steeper. It was also shown that porous concrete made from recycled coarse aggregate has higher performance on permeability and infiltration rate compared to porous concrete made from the natural one.
