Estudo da viabilidade técnica do uso de bloco de concreto permeáveis como alternativa para a redução do escoamento superficial

Abstract

The study is about the use of permeable pavements as an alternative to conventional waterproof pavements, its importance in the reduction of surface runoff and reuse of rainwater. The present work reviewed, in the engineeringliterature, the technical feasibility, application and maintenance costs, aspects of mechanical resistance, infiltration capacity, in the replacement of conventional pavements by permeable pavements. The results obtained were satisfactory regarding the reduction of surface runoff, the use of rainwater proved to be economically attractive, the performance of mechanical resistance to compression of the permeable pavement is lower than the conventional one, but they were higher than the minimum limits required by ABNT standards.
