Clogging of pervious concrete is an important potential issue in serviceability, considered one of the primary limitations of pervious concrete systems. The sediment deposition pattern of pervious concrete was determined using three clogging materials: clay, sand, and clayey silty sand. The clogged specimens were cleaned by pressure washing, vacuuming, and a combined method. In total, ten clogging and cleaning cycles were carried out on each sample to evaluate the draining capacity of the pervious concrete. The clogging test was assessed by measuring the infiltration rate during clogging and after cleaning, for each cycle. The experiment results showed that a reduction in permeability due to different types of sedimentation material as well as recovery in permeability was achieved after applying various cleaning methods.}, type={Article}, title={Experimental study on sedimentation removal of pervious concrete}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/115579/PDF-MASTER/pan_doi_blank.pdf}, keywords={Pervious concrete, clogging, permeability, sedimentation, storm water}, }
