ABSTRACT

The rapid development of urbanization and impact of climate change make the airports frequently hit by rain, leading to flood. And the size and passenger flow of airports have increased year by year, and water resources are in short supply. The rainwater rapid drainage model of traditional airport construction can’t meet the requirements. This paper puts forward the connotation of sponge airport and designs the construction target and control index of sponge airport. Considering particularity of the airport, it should not only consider the goal of "infiltrate, stagnation and storage" in the construction of airport, but also meet the requirements of "discharge and use" in the safe operation. According to the characteristics of each function area, the design of the low-impact development facilities of sponge airport and the rainwater runoff control scheme are carried out. It has important theoretical and practical significance for constructing sponge airport.
