Abstract

Using both small scale, indoor and large scale, outdoor models the oil retentionperformance of traditional pervious pavement systems, using granite as the loadbearing/storage element are compared to systems which use recycled materials inthis role. Both recycled aggregate, as a direct replacement for the granite aggregate,and load bearing/storage boxes made from recycled plastic are investigated. Theresults show that these alternatives offer comparable oil retaining performances butthat all the systems tested failed to retain oil satisfactorily under sudden, extreme oilloading conditions. Initial indications are that biological activity is not compromised bythe use of recycled concrete.
