Paving the way to greener roads and healthier waterways

废轮胎透水路面正在成为一种有效的缓解暴雨涌的解决方案。然而，它在交通负荷和各种环境条件下的行为尚未完全了解，这削弱了行业对这项技术的信心。该项目旨在通过创造有关废轮胎透水路面的机械和水文性能的新知识来推进其工程设计。该项目将制定设计准则，确定管理机制，并根据实验室和现场试验以及先进的数值模拟，制定一个性能预测框架。将确定从微观到宏观层面的绩效机制，为工业提供支持广泛采用的知识。

Waste tyre permeable pavement is emerging as an effective stormwater surge mitigation solution. Yet, its behaviour under traffic loads and varied environmental conditions are not fully understood which undermines industry confidence in this technology. This project aims to advance the engineering of waste tyre permeable pavements by creating new knowledge on their mechanical and hydrological performance. The project will develop design guidelines, identify the governing mechanisms and develop a performance prediction framework based on laboratory and field tests, and advanced numerical modelling. The mechanisms of performance from micro to macro level will be identified, generating knowledge for industry to support widespread uptake.
