CoUDlabs_WP8_T812_IKT_001 Permeable pavement clogging assessment using sediments with different properties

Abstract

This dataset includes raw and processed data from a series of laboratory tests that were conducted to develop and assess new and existing methods for analysing pavement performance and to gain insights into how these systems operate during their lifetime. The test method and specification used are based on the standards set by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBt), the German Institute for Construction Engineering. The tests are focused on determining hydraulic permeability and material retention of a cobblestone pavement with permeable joints under different sources of contamination, such as plastic dust and particulate sediments with different granulometries. The work is part of a joint research line between IKT and UDC towards the development of standardised methods to assess the long-term behaviour of different permeable pavement types during their lifetime. Data may be used to increase knowledge on permeable pavement clogging, allowing for developing improved design and maintenance strategies to optimise the long-term performance of permeable pavements. This dataset is a result from the Joint Research Activity 3 (WP8, Improving Resilience and Sustainability in Urban Drainage solutions), Task 8.1.2. (Development of Scalable Measurement Protocols to Assess the Pollutant Retention and Release potentials of Urban Drainage Structures) within Co-UDlabs project, funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 101008626.
