| Abstract | Porous pavements have been used to manage stormwater since the 1980s, but it has only been in the past decade that the use of porous pavements has become recognized as a legitimate stormwater best management practice (BMP). However, porous pavements are special care during design, installation, and maintenance. If proper techniques are not practiced, then the pavement will not perform as intended. The functionality of porous pavements can be compromised due to inadequate pavement design, poor mix design, poor installation practices, and clogging to name a few. This paper presents performance summaries of ten porous pavements from across the state of South Carolina with an analysis of causes for poor performance. Performance indicators include infiltration rate, surface distress (e.g., raveling), and structural performance. The knowledge gained from this study can provide guidance for designing, building, and maintaining porous pavements that have a high level of functionality throughout the design life based on local field experience. |
