Testing with Recycled Glass Aggregates

Best outcome:

Findings:

After 15min the water infiltration slowly of the permeable brick increases gradually, slowly dripping from bottom until water drops. Lime mortar ratio (1:3) has a great effect on the infiltration strength and water permeability of fine aggregate grading water permeable brick

Project 3

The Lung Fu Shan is an example of how the trail of Pinewood Battery can redesign landslide of slope to manage storm water effectively, stop sewer backups into basements and this project are important parts of the infrastructure and help protect and improve the efficiency of the city’s grey, or pipe, infrastructure. As a project to Lung Fu Shan, beside the downhill trail of Pinewood Battery to play round area, the landslide of slope was much tree collapse during typhoon and rainstorm runoff. According to mapping of ephemeral drainage channel the water flow to affect downhill path, we develop a water infrastructure to collect rain water and planting. They have two part of collect water, first part of water system was collect by two wall, they have three incorporates several small pools of storm water that flow downward through a series of filtering aquatic plants into a larger collecting pool, where it will eventually reintegrate into the storm water system, each layer have retaining wall to obstruct turbulent water and also tone walls, culverts and drainage channels can control flowing water speed, they are exquisitely constructed and in relatively good condition. In general, as water flows from one pool to another it will become cleaner, ending in a clear pool that the planting.
