ABSTRACT
Rapid urbanization demands for unceasing evaluation towards pavement systems in order to bring an economical pavement design for different soil strata. Many regions around the globe experience problems related to impervious soil strata/surface, accumulating water in confined areas. To overcome these issues, a structured porous media induces gravitational settling for proper discharge of surface water through the pavement. Present study aims at examining the functionality of porous pavement structure for confined boundary areas where water clogged within vertical walls allow slow percolation underneath which could damage the existing foundation system. This system has been monitored for the structural strength as well as hydraulic drainage discharge through variation in soil parameters. Further, analysis of cost is also carried out and it is found that the proposed pavement structure will reduce the cost nearly up to 50% due to reduction in pavement thickness/material as compared to the conventional approach.
