ASTM C1701/C1701M − 09 Standard Test Method for Infiltration Rate of In Place Pervious Concrete

ASTM C1701/C1701M − 09 Standard Test Method for Infiltration Rate of In Place Pervious Concrete

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the field water infiltration rate of in place pervious concrete.

1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.

The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other.

Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 The text of this standard references notes that provide explanatory material.

These notes shall not be considered as requirements of the standard

Significance and Use

5.1 Tests performed at the same location across a span of years may be used to detect a reduction of infiltration rate of the pervious concrete, thereby identifying the need for remediation.

5.2 The infiltration rate obtained by this method is valid only for the localized area of the pavement where the test is conducted.

To determine the infiltration rate of the entire pervious pavement multiple locations must be tested and the results averaged.
