Description: The environmental benefits of porous pavement have led to a dramatic rise in interest and utilization of this technology. Ferguson's book is thus a very timely publication, and also a unique one, since, unlike earlier publications on the subject, it covers all types of porous pavement-concrete, asphalt, paving blocks, and others.
With its clear explanation and evaluation of each type, it allows landscape architects, civil engineers, and contractors to review and choose materials to meet site-specific conditions. Installation methods, performance levels, and appropriate applications are all addressed. Numerous case studies are included. Published by CRC Press.
