METHODS
1: Four locations on an existing pervious concrete sidewalk at Sloan Hall (A, B, C,D) were chosen for surface infiltration
testing under various ambient weather temperature conditions using ASTM C1701 with one gallon of water for each test
(prewetting, alpha (α), and beta (β)). Testing stopped for a while at locations A and B due to clogging from the neighboring
landscape bed restricting flow. Later these two areas were readily cleaned with power washing, and testing resumed.
2: Buckets of water were left out prior to testing to have the water reach ambient temperature. Water, air, and surface
temperatures were noted in addition to the infiltration times.
3: The surface infiltration rates were compared to earlier rates (2014) and to temperature variations.

2: Surface Infiltration Rates versus Temperature and Time and Recorded Results
SUMMARY: It was found that there is no statistical correlation between
infiltration rates and temperature. Although it was observed in some cases there
were lower infiltration rates during periods of lower temperatures, the overall
impact of clogging from sources of runon, atmospheric deposition and other
inputs far outweigh reduced infiltration rates during lower temperatures.
However it is recommended that if infiltration testing is performed during times
of higher temperatures, that these rates be used conservatively as rates can
decrease during winter months.
During the course of testing it was observed that for the majority of the testing
infiltration rates became slower while running the beta (β) test. This is likely due
to fines and other debris being dislodged and carried into the substructure of the
pervious concrete surface. Because of this it is the authors’ recommendation that
a second infiltration test be performed after a prewetting test and initial
infiltration test to determine the true infiltration characteristics of a pervious
concrete placement.

ABSTRACT: Pervious concrete helps infiltrate our stormwater and ice melt, is this infiltration rate significantly impacted with higher viscosities of water during colder events?
