2. Project Goals

Objectives of this study are: 1: Test safety aspects of pervious concrete sidewalks/parking lots/bike lanes in winter conditions, 2: Develop a best-practice guideline for winter maintenance of pervious concrete installations.

3. Relevancy of Institutional Partnerships Our team from WSU and OSU has combined expertise in the two broad areas of pervious and traditional concrete material characterization and winter maintenance safety. Our expertise will enable us to exactly target the proposed research focus. Equally important to our expertise is our access to several pervious sidewalks and parking lots on the WSU Pullman campus, which enables unique in-field experiments. Added to that is the support provided by WSU Facilities and WSU Police in conducting the field experiments required for this project.

4. Problem Statement Pervious concrete has been recommended as one of the Best Management Practices (BMP) by the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other agencies for stormwater and runoff management. Runoff and snowmelt control, vehicle pollutant reduction, heat-island effect reduction, water spray/splash and hydroplaning reduction, and recharging of groundwater supplies are some of the firsthand advantages of pervious concrete over traditional mixtures. Such advantages have made pervious concrete a desirable product for various municipal applications such as bike lanes, pedestrian walkways, sidewalks, parking lots and low-volume roadways. Different municipalities in the Pacific Northwest have been experimenting with replacing traditional concrete with pervious concrete for such applications. Paramount to its growth in popularity is research on its possibly enhanced safety and skid-resistance in parking lots and bike lane applications and slip-resistance for sidewalks. Research is needed to identify the best winter maintenance practices to maintain safety while maintaining acceptable performance.

Pedestrian travel is increasing across the Pacific Northwest and safe sidewalks are critical to continue the trend (Milne and Melin, 2014). In 2012, pedestrians accounted for 14% of all traffic-related fatalities nationwide. Secretary Anthony Foxx has declared pedestrian safety a top priority for the USDOT and two months ago launched what he calls “the most innovative, forward-leaning, biking-walking safety initiative ever” (Foxx, 2014). The initiative will include increased funding for sidewalk construction and repair (USDOT, 2014). One of the cost-effective solutions for construction of new sidewalks and bike lanes or replacement of the old ones is pervious concrete pavement. Pervious concrete pavement is a permeable pavement that is commonly placed atop a stone reservoir to retain runoff and stormwater allowing it to naturally percolate into the subgrade soil (ACPA, 2006), see Fig. 1. The concrete mixture includes an appropriate amount of cement and water to carefully bind the coarse aggregate together (usually no sand is used in the mixture and the coarse aggregate is tightly controlled to a near uniform size to produce the permeable structure) to create a highly permeable structure with 15-25% voids and flow rates of 2-18 gal/min/ft2 (FHWA, 2012).

Fig. 1. Schematic cross section of pervious concrete pavement [adapted from (FHWA, 2012)].

Due to their advantages in stormwater and pavement runoff as stated previously, the number of pervious concrete installations is increasing in cold region and in the Pacific Northwest. King County in Seattle has numerous installations of pervious concrete for sidewalks (1,100 ft2 in 2007, another 210 ft2 in 2008). The City of Spokane has installed, and is in the process of installing several different pervious applications, including parking lots and bike lanes. The City of Olympia has used pervious concrete for sidewalk applications. Parking lot and sidewalk installations have been successful to the extent that cities of Chicago, Portland (Fig. 2) and Seattle have used pervious concrete for residential streets (City of Portland website; CDOT, 2009; Gwilym, 2006). While new installation of pervious concrete is rapidly growing, it is essential that the unresolved issues regarding different aspects of their maintenance be addressed. One of the most critical maintenance operations for transportation infrastructure is regaining their safety during the winter in a timely fashion to avoid skids and car crashes and slip-related falls on pedestrian paths. Anecdotal evidence suggests that pervious concrete has advantages over traditional concrete in draining snow and ice melt faster and thereby reducing the need for winter treatment (ACPA, 2006). However, due its voided structure, pervious concrete has a lower thermal conductivity compared to traditional concrete and thereby presents a different thermal behavior. The air void system in the pervious concrete makes it a better insulator of heat resulting in the slab insulated from the underlayers (mainly the subgrade soil) and thereby 1) freezes faster, and 2) remain frozen

for a longer duration during parts of the year, with a reverse behavior in other parts of the winter when the ground is frozen and the air is warming. Research has shown that porous surfaces remain 2 to 4°F colder than traditional pavements at temperature range of 23 to 32°F under some conditions (critical temperature range for winter maintenance operations) (Fay & Akin, 2013). Unique structure and thermal behavior of pervious concrete pavement necessitate alterations to routine winter maintenance operations conducted on traditional concrete surfaces.

Fig. 2. Picture of a pervious pavement project from City of Portland website.

However, a recent survey of literature on the subject showed that currently no consensus exists on how to treat pervious installations to maintain their winter safety and at the same time assure their structural integrity (Fay & Akin, 2013). To take advantage of the porous structure of the pervious concrete for stormwater and runoff control and other drainage-related applications, the porosity of the structure needs to be maintained throughout its service life. Liquid de-icers can drain quickly through the pervious structure, leaving the surface vulnerable to bonding to snow and ice. The few existing guidelines on winter maintenance of porous surfaces are contradictory, for instance the guideline by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) warns against the use of chemical de-icers on less than one-year old installations and only sparingly on older installations (NRMCA, 2004). On the other hand, a brief guideline published by the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center calls for “excessive application of deicing chemicals” (UNH-SC, undated). Timely application of de-icers is especially critical since a laboratory observation of pervious specimens showed that the pervious surface, due to its rougher macro-texture, can sometimes strongly bond to snow and ice (Edens & Adams, 2001). To break this bond and plow the pervious surface to attain a “bare pavement” condition, the snowplow operator will have to rigorously plow the surface several times, which can induce structural damage and abrasion to the surface (PCA website). A guideline developed by the Washington State Department of Ecology recommends using plastic-tipped snowplow blades, or to slightly elevate the plow blades using skids (Guttman, undated). The number of studies that investigated the skid-resistance of pervious concrete under winter conditions and the effectiveness of winter treatments is very limited. A study conducted in 2012 investigated the biomechanical slip-resistance of pervious and traditional concrete under wet and icy conditions (Kevern et al., 2012). They found that pedestrian contact pressure is twice on pervious compared to traditional concrete. They concluded that pervious concrete due to its surface characteristics, combined with high permeability, offers superior skid-resistance in comparison to

traditional concrete. The Oregon Department of Transportation conducted a study to evaluate the effect of anti-icing on skid number of open-graded pavements (Martinez & Poecker, 2006). After testing the pavement in three conditions of non-treated, treated with 15 gallon/mile-lane of deicer, and 30 gallon/mile-lane of deicer, they concluded that the deicer did not influence the skid number of the surface. They also noted the skid number in all conditions stays within the recommended limits by the FHWA. The authors called for further laboratory experiments to validate their findings in the field. Further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of different de-icers, the proper time of application, and the frequency of application of de-icer agents to prevent ice and snow bonding to the pervious surface. For this study, we propose a field skid resistance (friction) experimental procedure to evaluate WSU pervious installations before and after de-icing over a wide range of temperature, ice and snow conditions. We will extend our field study to the laboratory, where we can further research the influence of de-icers in a more controlled environment.

5. Approach

5.1. Tasks Description Our research approach includes field (conducted at WSU) and laboratory (conducted at WSU & OSU) components. In the field, we will measure the friction coefficient and stopping distance on several pervious installations on WSU campus. Our target will be focused on evaluating the effectiveness of de-icers on prohibiting snow and ice bonding to the pervious surface. We will extend this study to laboratory-cast specimens of pervious concrete, which will be exposed to ambient conditions in both Pullman, Washington and Corvallis, Oregon. WSU and OSU are also equipped with temperature-controlled chambers, which will enable replicating the field conditions in the laboratory for validation and extended analysis. We will establish the effectiveness of de-icer application to the specimens through friction measurements and X-ray tomography imaging. Please see below for a more detailed description of the tasks in the project.

Task 1-Literature Survey

Our preliminary survey of literature shows that only a few studies focused on characterizing surface texture and skid resistance of pervious concrete. We will continue our literature survey on the subject and review past laboratory and field research relating to surface macro- and microtexture of pervious concrete in different conditions of dry, wet, snow and ice.

Task 2- Laboratory Surface Safety Examination

Surface Finishing and Friction Testing

Under this task, we will focus on experimenting with different finishing techniques in the laboratory to gain a better surface friction. Some of the potential trial surface finishing methods that we have identified to-date include:

- brooming, - application of a layer of fine and angular sand, and - application of chemicals developed particularly for better grip.

5

Page 6: Tools and Guidelines for Pervious Concrete Sidewalks and ...depts.washington.edu/pactrans/wp-content/uploads/...advantages have made pervious concrete a desirable product for various

Washington and Oregon State Universities PacTrans Multi-Institution Proposal

We will test the surface skid resistance characteristics of each of the above finishing methods using two laboratory devices, Mango Spot Spring Balance (Fig. 3a) and Dynamic Friction Tester (DFT) (Fig. 3b). Any notable difference in surface friction of the different surface finished under dry, wet and icy conditions will be statistically established before and after application of different de-icers. These experiments will be conducted in the WSU temperature controlled chamber to replicate winter icy conditions for the specimens and evaluate the effectiveness of the different surface finishing. The same experiments will also be replicated on specimens exposed to Pullman, Washington climatic conditions year-round. OSU will use their Modular Multi-Chamber Environmental Conditioning System (MCMEC) to simulate winter conditions to evaluate the impact of deicing/anti-icing chemicals on pervious concrete surface characteristics. Magnesium chloride solution, ~30 wt.% in concentration (with corrosion inhibitor added), and sodium chloride solid will be used in the study as these are the most common anti-icing and deicing products used, respectively, by the State DOTs in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, etc.). The large size of the chamber (8.5’× 8.5’× 8.5’), makes it possible to take in-situ measurements so that realistic environmental conditions can be maintained throughout the testing period. Samples will also be placed in their outdoor exposure site for monitoring The pervious concrete samples will be the same size and constructed from the same materials and curing procedures as those used at WSU. The same type of analytical equipment outlined above will be used by the researchers at OSU. OSU will also cast samples of pervious concrete with different finishing techniques for freeze-thaw evaluation. From a safety perspective it is important to ensure that the pervious concrete surface applications not only provide superior skid resistant, but that they are also durable. If the surface of the concrete becomes compromised due to freeze-thaw cycling it is possible that flaking, scaling and loosened particles could provide conditions to decrease the skid resistance and thus the safety of pervious concrete in winter conditions. A modified ASTM C 666 (freeze-thaw durability) and ASTM C 672 test will form the basis for the testing approach. The research team at OSU has extensive experience with freeze-thaw testing using these techniques and is well-equipped to do this part of the experimental research program. Samples for X-ray computed tomography will be sent to WSU for evaluation there.

Effect of anti-icing (X-ray tomography imaging)

WSU is equipped with X-ray Flat panel Amorphous Silicon High-resolution Computed Tomography (X-ray FlashCT). Using the X-ray FlashCT system. We will use digital image analysis to non-destructively evaluate the extent of bonding of snow and ice to different surface finishes as well as after application of different anti-ice and deicing chemicals. The X-ray FlashCT system has proved promising in a previous project that focused on evaluating the clogging of pervious concrete over time (Fig. 4). A special procedure will be developed to transfer the specimens from the field to the X-ray FlashCT room without changing the state of the specimens.

Task 4- In-Field Safety Testing

In this task, we will use an accelerometer installed on the inside windshield of a vehicle (Fig. 6). The accelerometer will be used to measure the stopping distance of the Police vehicle on a pervious concrete parking lot, to be installed as part of the new PACCAR Environmental Technology Building. The tests will be repeated before and after application of de-icers under icy and snowy conditions. We will also investigate the effect of traffic on pushing the snow into the pervious surface voids and potentially changing its friction characteristics.
