LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Explain the function and design of porous pavers, including how their high porosity and base layer construction facilitate water infiltration.
- Identify the key factors that influence paver performance, including material, porosity, compressive strength, base course, thickness, environmental conditions, and maintenance.
- Describe the environmental benefits of porous pavers, including stormwater control, runoff and flooding prevention, water pollution reduction, hydrocarbon capture, and carbon sequestration in applicable contexts.
- Recognize the wide range of applications for porous pavers, including driveways, fire lanes, parking lots, utility access roads, helicopter landing pads, outdoor complexes, stadiums, schools, corporate campuses, and ADA access areas.
