Growth of economy and population density, open space is being converted to roads or other infrastructures such as buildings or parking lots reducing green space. This paper demonstrates a new type of green pavement designed to replace flexible and rigid pavements which are water impermeable and have a short design life. This type of green pavement helps reduce runoff problems in urban areas. StormPav GP is an innovative Industrialised Building System (IBS) Green Pavement which has been shown to have structural, environmental and economic advantages. However, its susceptibility to distress has yet to be analyzed. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the mechanistic properties and evaluating distress of StormPav GP as compared to flexible and rigid pavements. WinJULEA, KenPave and Circly 6.0 were used for this analysis which also investigated the effects of different tire pressures on deflections. StormPav GP was found to have lower deflection due to a tandem axle dual wheel load on any pavement surface and provided a more uniform settlement with higher elastic modulus and shear modulus than flexible and rigid pavement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
