For reusing the construction and demolition waste (C&DW) materials and solving waterloggingproblems, the feasibility of applying C&DW to the permeable pavement (PP) was investigated.
The recycled brick aggregate (RBA) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) were used as PPbase materials under different mixing ratios and grades. Geotextiles were also used in thisstudy as filter contaminants. Modified compaction tests, rainfall model tests, and columnleaching tests were conducted on a total of 15 samples with three gradations and five RBA andRCA mix ratios. The specimens for the rainfall model test were compacted at around optimummoisture content, and the degree of compaction was 97%. Using the sub-layer compactionmethod, each group of samples is compacted in five layers in strict accordance with thespecifications. In general, C&DW has the potential to be used underground without pollutionto the groundwater. The heavy metal concentrations in C&DW are less than in the local soiland related to material resources. The water yield performance was the best when 100%concrete was used to build PP, and the total water storage was the most when 100% of brickswere chosen to make PP. Due to the excellent permeability, C&DW can be selected forpavement fillers. The geotextile reduces the permeability by about 13% but effectively filtersout more than 50% of the fine particles in the rainfall. The permeability performance ofconcrete aggregates may be better than that of bricks, and fine particles can reduce thepermeability.
