@article{10902/6155, year = {2014}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/6155}, abstract = {This paper reports on an evaluation of the properties of a novel structure known as OASIS® which was designed at Coventry University as an enhancement of the commercially available geotextiles when incorporated in the permeable pavement system (PPS). The impact on the hydraulic behaviour of a PPS was analysed through the study of infiltration rate, throughout the PPS and time required to reach the steady-state stage behaviour of the water within the PPS, under extreme rainfall intensities of 100 mm/hr, 200 mm/hr and 400 mm/hr, corresponding to a 100-year return period rainfall over a duration of 15 min in different parts of the world. The result indicated that the novel structure provides an extra benefit when incorporated in PPSs, delaying peak flow of a rainfall event by retaining and storing great volumes of water within its structure. These additional benefits are especially important under extreme rainfall events.}, publisher = {Taylor & Francis Online}, publisher = {International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 15 (10), 925-932.}, title = {An Evaluation of Enhanced Geotextile Layer in Permeable Pavement to Improve Stormwater Infiltration and Attenuation}, author = {Nnadi, Ernest and Coupe, Stephen and Sañudo Fontaneda, Luis Ángel and Rodríguez Hernández, Jorge}, }
