Every 3rd Tuesday of the month, the National Road Research Alliance will provide a monthly SKYPE seminar* to highlight research topics that will make an impact on the work done in the state of Minnesota and around the country. Join the last ‘Research Pays Off’ (RPO)’ of the year SKYPE Webinar on Tuesday, December 18, 2018: “Mechanistic design of permeable pavements based on accelerated pavement testing”.

presented by: David R. Smith and Dave Jones, UC Davis Pavement Research Center
Summary: The use of permeable pavement is increasing as a means to reduce stormwater runoff, pollutants, and recharge aquifers, as well as a means to create a more resilient, less flood-prone environment. Most permeable pavements are porous asphalt, pervious concrete, or permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP). This research was born from the need to validate structural design methods for PICP developed in 2011 by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. The presentation details the research undertaken in 2014 to develop revised design tables for PICP using a mechanistic-empirical design approach.
