Modelling of StormPav Green Pavement System with Storm Water Management Model and InfoWorks Collection System

Abstract

 Abstract: Prior to any construction work related to stormwater, it is preferable to involve a computer-based modelling. This paper outlines two different computer-based modelling tools to model a green technology named StormPav Green Pavement. In determining befitting software for use, two key factors are considered: (i) fast model construction (ii) provision of an affordable design model. To meet these key factors, the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), and InfoWorks Collection System (CS) are deployed in this study. The predictive results of the two models are compared for different design storm durations under 10-year Average Recurrent Interval (ARI). The predictive results suggest that both models are compatible. Yet, SWMM is preferable to model StormPav Green Pavement as it could provide reasonably fast model construction and the software tool is an open source software used worldwide.Index Terms : Computer-aided design, flow rate, permeable road, urban drainage, velocity.

Case Study of Stormwater Control by Permeable Road in Commercial Centre under Equatorial Climate

“…One of the stormwater control measures that suitable for a road is a permeable road. Its general structure consisted of a top layer of permeable pavement allowing water to seep through and a bottom layer of storage facility allowing water to be stored temporarily under the road [9]. The outflow of the storage layer was through a 50 mm diameter orifice.…”

Modelling of Compartmentalized Household Storm water Detention System using SWMM5

“…These past studies [7][8][9][10][11] have been verified numerically based on water balance; however, these studies have not been validated due to the absent of a StormPav system in the field. As such, the R&D team has set up an actual-scaled StormPav system in a residential setting in Figure 3.…”

“…There are also other studies [9][10][11] that represent StormPav system using the "conduit" in SWMM5. Authors reported that StormPav could convey water via its middle layer and a closed rectangular "conduit" is best to represent the system.…”
