Abstract: As one alternative to alleviate damages caused by stormwater runoff, the effects of runoff quantity reduction are analyzed when porous pavement is used. Porous pavements with various depths, general pavement and an artificial rainfall generator are installed for laboratory experiments. Runoff changes are analyzed according to the various rainfall durations. The rainfall intensity of 150 mm/hr is generated for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes. For porous pavements with 80 cm thickness, 100% , 93% , 56% of discharge is infiltrated through soil, respectively. For porous pavements with 20 cm thickness, 81% , 32% , 28% of discharge is infiltrated through soil, respectively. It is found that the porous pavements are able to decrease the runoff.
