LIDLayerPavement Class

Initializes a new instance of the LIDLayerPavement class

Volume of voids that are clogged due to fine particles accumulation.

Use a value of 0 to ignore clogging

Evaporation rate [m/s].

Evaporation only takes place if the upper layer is unsaturated

Fraction of impervious paver material of total area; 0 for continuous porous pavement systems

Unit: [fraction] Default value: 0 (all is pervious)

Moisture fraction, volume of pore water relative to total volume (as a fraction).

This fraction is always between zero and Porosity.

Moisture fraction of last time step

Percolation rate. [m/s]

Speed of the water through the pavement, effectively used as infiltration rate from soil to lower layer

Permeability [m/s] of the concrete or asphalt used in continuous systems or hydraulic conductivity of the fill material (gravel or sand) used in modular systems .

The permeability of new porous concrete or asphalt is high (>2450 mm/hr) but over time the fine particles in the runoff tend to clog the pavement, reducing the permeability of the structure.

Pavement porosity; void volume fraction of total volume.

Thickness of pavement layer [m]

Volume of water per area [m] contained in pavement

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as the default hash function.

Computes reduced permeability of a pavement layer due to clogging.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Volume of water per area [m] contained in pavement for a given moisture

Limit state variables to allowed range, between zero and Porosity

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Returns a string that represents the current object.
