8、 C1232.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 An infiltration ring is temporarily sealed to the surface of a permeable unit pavement system. These pavements typicallyconsist of solid concrete paving units conforming to Specification C936, concrete grid paving units conforming to SpecificationC1319, or clay pa
9、ving brick conforming to Specification C902 or C1272. These pavements allow drainage through joints betweenthe units or through voids formed by the intersection of two or more units or intentionally manufactured into the units. The resultsof this test method for unit pavement systems can be compared

Afterpre-wetting the test location, a given mass of water is introduced into the ring and the time for the water to infiltrate the pavementis recorded.

Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be used for acceptance of surface infiltration of new permeable unit pavement syst
16、ems.5.2 Tests performed at the same location across a span of years may be used to detect a reduction of infiltration rate of thepermeable surface, thereby identifying the need for any remedial maintenance intended to increase the infiltration rates topredefined levels.5.3 The infiltration rate obta
17、ined by this method is valid only for the localized area of the pavement where the test is conducted.To determine the surface infiltration rate of the entire permeable pavement, multiple locations must be tested and the resultsaveraged.5.4 The minimum acceptable infiltration rate is typically establ
18、ished by the design engineer of record or the municipality andcan be a function of the design precipitation event.6. Apparatus6.1 Infiltration RingA cylindrical ring, open at both ends (See Fig. 1). The ring shall be watertight, sufficiently rigid to retainits form when filled with water, and shall
19、have a diameter of 300 6 10 mm 12.0 6 0.5 in. with a minimum height of 50 mm2.0 in. The bottom edge of the ring shall be even. The inner surface of the ring shall be marked or scored with two lines at adistance of 10 and 15 mm 0.40 and 0.60 in. from the bottom of the ring. Measure and record the inn
20、er diameter of the ring tothe nearest 1 mm 0.05 in.NOTE 1Ring materials that have been found to be suitable include steel, aluminum, rigid plastic, and PVC.6.2 BalanceA balance or scale accurate to 10 g 0.02 lb.6.3 ContainerAcylindrical container typically made of plastic having a volume of at least
21、 20 L 5 gal, and from which watermay be easily poured at a controlled rate into the infiltration ring.6.4 Stop WatchAccurate to 0.1 s.6.5 Plumbers Putty (Non-Hardening)Meeting Specification C920 or Federal Specification A-A-3110.6.6 WaterPotable water.7. Test Locations7.1 Perform tests at multiple l
22、ocations at a site as requested by the purchaser of testing services. Unless otherwise specified, usethe following to determine the number of tests to perform:7.1.1 Three test locations for areas up to 2500 m2 25 000 ft2.7.1.2 Add one test location for each additional 1000 m2 10 000 ft2 or fraction
23、thereof.7.2 Provide at least 1 m 3 ft clear distance between test locations, unless at least 24 h have elapsed between tests.7.3 Do not test if there is standing water on top of the permeable pavement. Do not test within 24 h of the last precipitation.8. Procedure8.1 Infiltration Ring InstallationCl
24、ean the pavement surface by only sweeping off trash, debris, and other non-seated material.8.2 Take a photograph of the immediate area to be tested to document the pavement pattern and layout. Move the ring over thesurface of the pavement until the pattern, drainage joints and drainage voids framed
25、within the infiltration ring are representativeof the entire paving pattern, drainage joints and drainage voids across the pavement surface. Set the ring on the pavement surfaceand mark its location by circumscribing it with chalk or other temporary marking. Take a photograph of the circumscribed ch
26、alkor temporary marking to document the placement of the ring relative to the pavement pattern and layout (see Note 2).NOTE 2The procedure in 8.2 for selecting and documenting the placement of the infiltration ring on a representative area of the pavement is sufficientin most cases for determining t
27、he infiltration rate of the pavement. The drainage area within the infiltration ring is typically within 620 % of the averageFIG. 1 Dimensions of Infiltration RingC1781/C1781M 142drainage area of the pavement as a whole. This accuracy is adequate for most situations. If a more accurate quantificatio
28、n of the infiltration rate is needed,the procedure detailed in Appendix X1 can be used to normalize the drainage area within the infiltration ring to the average drainage area of the pavementas a whole.8.3 For solid interlocking concrete paving units and clay brick paving, remove aggregate to a dept
29、h of no greater than 10 mm0.5 in. in any joint or drainage void that will be directly below the test ring and fill these areas with plumbers putty so that apositive seal can be made to the test ring once it is placed on the surface. Take care not to extend the plumbers putty more than10 mm 0.5 in. i
30、nside the perimeter of the chalk line or other temporary marking. For concrete grid paving units, center as muchof the ring as possible on the webs. For ring locations over openings, remove any vegetation, if present, directly below the testring to a depth of no greater than 10 mm 0.5 in and apply p
31、lumbers putty to the surface of the soil, or to the aggregate, if present,so that a positive seal can be made to the test ring once it is placed on the surface. Take care not to extend the plumbers putty morethan 10 mm 0.5 in. inside the perimeter of the chalk line or other temporary marking.8.4 App
32、ly plumbers putty around the bottom edge of the ring and place the ring onto the surface being tested. Press the puttyinto the surface and around the bottom edge of the ring to create a watertight seal making sure that the putty does not extend morethan 10 mm 0.5 in inside the perimeter of the ring.
33、 Place additional putty as needed to ensure a watertight seal.NOTE 3In a hot environment or when the surface temperature is over 38C 100F plumbers putty may not adhere to the surface of the pavementeasily. Therefore it is advisable to perform this test during a cooler temperature.8.5 PrewettingPour
34、water into the ring at a rate sufficient to maintain a head between the two marked lines. Take care to pourthe water such that it falls directly on the surface of a paving unit and not onto the joints. This minimizes displacement of jointingaggregate and any accumulated sediment in the joints during
35、 the test (see Note 4). Use a total of 3.60 6 0.05 kg 8.0 6 0.1 lbof water. Begin timing as soon as the water impacts the permeable pavement surface. Stop timing when free water is no longerpresent on the surface. Record the amount of elapsed time to the nearest 0.1 second.NOTE 4It is recommended th
36、at the pour height be limited to a maximum of 150 mm 6.0 in. above the surface of the paving units to minimizedisruption.8.6 TestThe test shall be started within 2 min after the completion of the prewetting. If the elapsed time in the prewetting stageis less than 30 s, then use a total of 18.00 6 0.
37、05 kg 40.00 6 0.1 lb of water. If the elapsed time in the prewetting stage is greaterthan or equal to 30 s, then use a total of 3.60 6 0.05 kg 8.0 6 0.1 lb of water. Record the weight of water to the nearest 10 g0.02 lb. Pour the water onto the ring at a rate sufficient to maintain a head between th
38、e two marked lines and until the measuredamount of water has been used. Take care to pour the water such that it falls directly on the surface of a paving unit and not ontothe joints. This minimizes displacement of jointing aggregate and any accumulated sediment in the joints during the test (see No
39、te5). Begin timing as soon as the water impacts the permeable pavement surface. Stop timing when free water is no longer presenton the surface. Record the testing duration (t) to the nearest 0.1 second.NOTE 5If a sloped pavement is being measured, maintain head between the two marked lines at the lo
40、west point of the slope.8.7 If a test is repeated at the same location, the repeat test does not require pre-wetting if conducted within 5 min aftercompletion of the first test. If more than one test is conducted at a location on a given day, the infiltration rate at that location onthat day shall b
41、e calculated as the average of the two tests. Do not repeat this test more than twice at the same location on a givenday.8.8 When completed with testing, remove plumbers putty from the joints and surface, reinstate the removed aggregate jointingmaterials, and sweep test area clean.9.
