As impervious land cover increases, so does the need for stormwater management. Concrete grid pavements provide increased infiltration rates, positively affecting runoff flow while decreasing erosion. This course introduces the range of grid pavement and erosion control applications and provides design and construction guidelines. Environmental performance is defined via conclusions from several research projects. Concrete grid pavements require minimal maintenance when properly designed and installed in appropriate applications. This course also includes an overview of how concrete grid paving units can be used to meet a number of LEED® v4.1 BD+C credit requirements.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Recall the ASTM product standard and requirements for concrete grid paving units.
  • Summarize how using concrete grid paving units in your project may help contribute to earning points in the Sustainable Sites and Materials and Resources categories in LEED v4.1.
  • Design concrete grid pavements for occasional vehicular use, stormwater management, and erosion control.
  • Identify the basic steps in concrete grid construction.
  • Describe the runoff reduction characteristics of concrete grid pavements.
  • Identify the cooling effects of transpiration from concrete grids and recall how this impacts temperature reduction and the heat island effect.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
