“…These differences among on-site studies could be attributable to the different characteristics of the porous mixtures studied [23]. The local conditions of the pavements analysed-especially in relation to the sediment types, sizes and deposition rates, the average daily traffic, and the rainfall regime-are other important factors influencing the clogging rate of porous mixtures [8,[24][25][26]. In addition, some studies report that the rainfall itself could have a great influence on the clogging dynamics in porous mixtures, producing a partial wash off of the sediments deposited on the pavement [9].…”

“…These systems aim to mimic the natural processes by which natural environments deal with stormwater. Permeable Pavement Systems (PPS) are one of the most extensively researched BMP/SuDS techniques because of their well-proven performance in reducing runoff volumes and their pollutant removal efficiency [6][7][8][9]. These systems are principally composed of several layers of pervious materials that allow the water to infiltrate whilst retaining the pollutants deposited on their surface, which have been transported by urban runoff.…”

“…The potential clogging of porous surfaces is highly dependent on the relationship between the pore size distribution of porous mixtures and the particle size distribution of the clogging material [8,17]. The retention of solid particles over time progressively reduces the pore diameter in the pavement surface, also reducing the diameter of the retained particles [21].…”

“…The retention of solid particles over time progressively reduces the pore diameter in the pavement surface, also reducing the diameter of the retained particles [21]. As the process continues, a thin layer of strained material is formed above the pavement surface, dramatically reducing the infiltration capacity of the pavement [8,17]. The permeability loss in a real scale application due to clogging effects can be very important; some field studies report important reductions from 470 mm/min down to 7 mm/min after two years of use without maintenance [22].…”

Permeable pavements have been used widely across the world to manage urban stormwater. The hydrological behaviour of permeable surfaces is a complex process affected by many factors, such as rainfall intensity, rainfall duration, pavement geometrical conditions, and clogging level of the permeable surface, amongst others. This laboratory study was carried out to assess the influence of clogging level and rainfall intensity on the infiltration capacity of porous mixture surfaces used in Permeable Pavement Systems (PPS). Porous Concrete (PC) and Porous Asphalt (PA) mixtures with different air void contents (15%, 20%, and 25%) were subject to different clogging scenarios by using varying sediment loads (0, 500, and 1000 g/m 2 ). Permeability experiments were carried out for each clogging scenario through a new rainfall simulator specially developed, tailored, and calibrated for the laboratory simulation of a wide range of rainfall events. Permeability measurements were taken under all different scenarios as a result of the combination of the different rainfall events (50, 100, and 150 mm/h) simulated over the specimens of porous mixtures and the sediment loads applied to them. The results showed that the PC mixtures tested perform better than the PA ones in terms of infiltration capacity, showing less potential for clogging and being more easily cleaned by the wash-off produced by the simulated rainfall events.

DEDICATIONI dedicate my dissertation to my family and many friends. A special feeling of gratitude to my loving parents, whose words of encouragement and push got me this far. I also dedicate this dissertation to my wife, who stood by me, and I will always appreciate all her support throughout the process. This dissertation is an experimental study based on the findings of two Green Infrastructure (GI) stormwater control measures (SCMs) in Louisville, KY, which focused on the effects of the physical environment on the performance of GI. The GI installed in Louisville are suffering from extensive and rapid surface clogging and in order to optimize current and future GI, an understanding of the factors affecting the performance of the system is required. The study used the current literature to determine the surrounding factors and those of the permeable surface that had not been investigated enough, and used several configurations of GI to determine the effects of these variables on the surface clogging. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThe module used to test these variables was a wooden flume, specifically designed and constructed from plywood so that the variables of the experiment could be incorporated in testing. The flume simulates a permeable pavement system with storage gallery and a bedding layer, and is paved with three different interlocking concrete pavements that provide gaps of three different sizes. The flume's longitudinal slope can be adjusted, and the permeable joint material can be included. The performance of the vi flume was measured using 7 time domain reflectometer (TDRs) instruments, manufactured by Campbell Scientific, which are located inside the storage gallery.After conducting 21 experiments with various configurations, the data was analyzed to reveal meaningful information. As expected, the experiments with permeable joint material show a clear separation for the sediment deposited on the surface, where empty gaps resulted in inorganics being deposited on the up gradient and organics on the down gradient.The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of the progression of clogging and progression of infiltration edge on the permeable surface showed that the increase of gap size from 6 mm to 9 mm did not result in a significant change, but the change to 12 mm gaps resulted in a significantly different rate for the progression of the first rate. The presence of #8 aggregate in the gaps resulted in significant changes in both rates and finally the change of slope from 1% to 3% created a significant change in the rate at which surface clogging progressed.vii

Accurate field permeability determination is an important basis for the performance evaluation and maintenance of permeable concrete pavement (PCP). The accuracies of three field permeability‐testing methods, namely, constant‐head single‐ring infiltration (CH‐SRI), falling‐head single‐ring infiltration (FH‐SRI), and double‐ring infiltration (DRI), are evaluated by comparing with laboratory control results. Factors that influence the accuracy of the tests, including ring size and ponding water head, are investigated. Results showed that CH‐SRI and FH‐SRI overestimate the infiltration rate due to the unrestricted lateral flow in field PCP permeability tests, especially for partially clogged PCP. The DRI method with an inner ring of >200 mm and outer ring of >500 mm exhibits good accuracy and is suggested for field PCP permeability test. The existence of initial hydraulic gradient was experimentally and theoretically verified in this study. A <50 mm ponding water head in the ring will not affect the accuracy of the tests. A new automatic field double‐ring infiltrometer is developed and verified via field tests to overcome the common difficulties in traditional DRI tests. The findings provide an easy and accurate approach for field in situ PCP permeability test.
