  2. Permeable paving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeable_paving

    Permeable pavement surfaces may be composed of; pervious concrete, porous asphalt, paving stones, or interlocking pavers. [1] Unlike traditional impervious paving materials such as concrete and asphalt, permeable paving systems allow stormwater to percolate and infiltrate through the pavement and into the aggregate layers and/or soil below.

  3. Impervious surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impervious_surface

    Natural impervious areas are defined herein as land covers that can contribute a substantial amount of surface runoff during small and large storms, but commonly are classified as pervious areas. [6] These areas are not commonly considered as an important source of stormflow in most highway and urban runoff -quality studies, but may produce a ...

  4. Cool pavement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_pavement

    Cool pavements are commonly made with reflective coatings or aggregates applied to conventional pavements or incorporation of porous or permeable materials. [4] While pavement load capability may be reduced with more frequent maintenance requirements, [ 4 ] cool pavements show promising results in reducing ambient temperatures and reducing ...

  5. Pervious concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervious_concrete

    A pervious concrete street in 2005. Pervious concrete (also called porous concrete, permeable concrete, no fines concrete and porous pavement) is a special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and allowing groundwater recharge.

  6. Pavers (flooring) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavers_(flooring)

    Pavers manufactured from concrete go well with flag, brick and concrete walkways or patios. Concrete pavers may be used where winter temperatures dip below freezing. They are available in hole, x-shape, y-shape, pentagon, polygon and fan styles. An interlocking concrete paver, also known as a segmental paver, is a type of paver.

  7. Road surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface

    Pavers (or paviours), generally in the form of pre-cast concrete blocks, are often used for aesthetic purposes, or sometimes at port facilities that see long-duration pavement loading. Pavers are rarely used in areas that see high-speed vehicle traffic.

    Permeable pavement surfaces may be composed of; pervious concrete, porous asphalt, paving stones, or interlocking pavers. [22] Unlike traditional impervious paving materials such as concrete and asphalt, permeable paving systems allow stormwater to percolate and infiltrate through the pavement and into the aggregate layers and/or soil below.
