Permeable pavement hydraulic performance and clogging experiments using a full-scale urban drainage physical model

Abstract

This dataset contains the results from 15 tests conducted used a physical model in the Hydraulic Laboratory of the Centre for Technological Innovation in Construction and Civil Engineering (CITEEC) at the University of A Coruña (Spain) as part of the POREDRAIN project. The objective of the tests is to analyse the hydraulic performance of a porous asphalt layer of the PA-16 type and the impact of clogging on the hydrological behaviour and water quality of the effluent. The porous asphalt was used to retrofit an impervious concrete surface of a 36 m² full-scale street section physical model, which consist of a rainfall simulator placed over the street surface. The behaviour of the porous asphalt layer was assessed by adding surface sediment loads between simulated rainfall events. Stormwater flow discharges were collected from two gully pots and an outlet lateral channel.
