Abstract
The effective use of pervious concrete in environmental site design requires consistent design procedures integrating the structural and material properties of the pervious concrete pavement with hydrologic performance of the pervious concrete system. Design procedures to size pervious concrete storm-water systems are presented based on criteria for freeze-thaw protection and drawdown reliability. Hydrologic performance criteria are quantified by an effective curve number, estimated from simulated routing of design storm hydrographs using standard storm-water computations. Combining operational design criteria with the evaluation of hydrologic perfor- mance criteria, as an effective curve number, integrates pervious concrete systems with traditional storm-water management practice and emerging standards for environmental site design.
