Estudo de pavimentos permeáveis como elemento sustentável amenizador das inundações urbanas

Abstract

We will study in this work the Permeable Pavements, which are floors that reduce runoff by up to 100% depending on the intensity of the rain, and delay the arrival of water to the subgrade reducing erosion. The coating of the deck to allow quick passage of water, which is stored for a period in the base and sub-base layers, functioning as a reservoir and filter (draining mattress). This provides several benefits to the environment, so they are also called sustainable flooring. Given the growing waterproofing and urbanization of cities, this is an alternative to mitigate urban flooding and preserve the permeable areas of large urban centers as well as preventing the medium-sized cities reach the degree of saturation of the largest. However, it is significant to note that this is an alternative that will only take effect if it is executed in association with traditional drainage systems such as gutters, ditches and others
