Abstract :

Urban flooding in under-bridge areas poses significant challenges, leading to traffic congestion, road deterioration, and increased maintenance costs. Traditional drainage systems often fail to efficiently manage excess storm water, exacerbating these issues. This study investigates the use of pervious bituminous pavement as an innovative and sustainable drainage solution. By integrating engineered void structures, this pavement allows water infiltration, reducing surface runoff and enhancing groundwater recharge. The research focuses on evaluating its permeability, durability, and overall performance under varying environmental and traffic conditions. Laboratory tests, including softening point, penetration, ductility, soil compaction, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR), were conducted to determine the suitability of the materials. The results demonstrate that pervious bituminous pavement improves drainage efficiency, minimizes hydroplaning risks, and enhances road resilience, making it a viable alternative for under-bridge storm-water management.
