Abstract
The Permeable block pavement is one of the representative Low Impact Development (LID) techniques for innovative water management based on systems that can infiltrate usually over the surface. The material of each layer in permeable block pavements is often comprised of a granular material with very high porosity not like conventional pavements. However, unlike conventional pavements, researches on structural characteristics of permeable block pavement is insufficient yet. Therefore, in this study, as part of study to understand the structural characteristics of permeable block pavement and open graded aggregate that is used as base material of permeable block pavement, plate load test was carried out on two different pavement sites, site M and N. Site M is aggregate base sites and site N is permeable block pavement site. Based on the relationship between load and settlement that is obtained from the test, coefficient of subgrade reaction (k) was calculated. Through the relationship between load-settlement and k, structural characteristics were evaluated according to material differences of the pavements.
