Abstract
Permeable concrete pavement is a kind of porous road, which can allow rainwater to penetrate into the ground and maintain the recyclability of water resources. However, with constantly using, its voids may be blocked with the impurities in the rainwater, such as leaves, silt, etc. If that happens, the permeable function of the permeable concrete pavement will be affected. In this paper, the different structure of the permeable concrete pavement is studied, including the variation trend of the coefficient of permeability in the simulated plugging and the recovery rate of the permeable concrete pavement after cleaning and dredging. The results show that the upper small size coarse aggregate (4.75 mm to 9.5 mm) structure of the porous concrete is conducive to filter out most of the impurities, and it will reinforce the resistance to blocking of permeable concrete. But, it is not easy to recover after blockage, if the upper small size coarse aggregate is too thick. The anti-blocking performance and post-blocking recovery rate of permeable concrete are better, when the upper layer thickness is 15 mm.
