High Strength Pervious Concrete
Pervious concrete is increasingly being utilised in the construction of driveways, parking lots, and pavement in many industrialised nations. Testing must be done to assess the performance of this new kind of high-performance concrete in order to establish material specifications for pervious …

Freeze-Thaw Durability of Pervious Concrete
Although the use of pervious concrete is expanding, only a limited number of scholarly papers have been published on the resistance of pervious concrete to deterioration under frost action. Based on this need for additional research on the durability of pervious concrete in cold regions, the …

Hydraulic design of pervious concrete highway shoulders
… in this thesis presents the option of using pervious concrete in highway shoulders as a best management practice for stormwater management. Research focused on the hydraulic response of pervious concrete pavements exposed to sheet flowing water. Pervious concrete samples were placed in a …

Attainable Compressive Strength Of Pervious Concrete Paving Systems
The pervious concrete system and its corresponding strength are as important as its permeability characteristics. The strength of the system not only relies on the compressive strength of the pervious concrete but also on the strength of the soil beneath it for support. Previous studies indicate …

Pervious Concrete: A Hydrologic Analysis For Stormwater Management Credit
Portland Cement pervious concrete's ability to permit water infiltration has encouraged its use as a stormwater management tool. However, the material has suffered historically poor support due to a number of factors, including failures due to poor mix design and improper construction techniques, …

Hydrologic Mass Balance Of Pervious Concrete Pavement With Sandy Soils
Use of pervious concrete pavement as a method of stormwater management has shown great promise in previous studies. Reduction in runoff, water quality improvements, and long-term economic benefits are but a few of its many advantages. Regulatory agencies such as the St. Johns River Water Management …

A study on the debris found in a pervious concrete sample
… to determine how and what debris clogs well-aged pervious concrete, a fourteen-year-old pervious concrete parking lot was cored and the samples investigated. First, a falling head test was performed to determine the infiltration rates on the samples, and the distribution was such that the …

The effects of utilizing silica fume in Portland cement pervious concrete
… conventional cement, which allows it to increase concrete strength by decreasing the porosity especially near the aggregates surface. Because Portland Cement Pervious Concrete (PCPC) has a smaller bond area between aggregate and paste, silica fume has significant impacts on the properties of the …

Analysis Of Pervious Concrete As A Stormwater Management Tool Using Swmm Modeling
… flows over the ground. Increase in impervious land cover due to urbanization causes excess stormwater runoff and affects the quantity and quality of water bodies. The use of low impact development (lid) controls is highly recommended to reduce the excess volume of stormwater runoff. …

Modification and performance of activated carbon for CO2 sequestration in pervious concrete
Concrete is one of the most commonly used material in the construction industry, with a global production of ∼10 billion m3/year. The production of Portland cement, the principal binder in most types of concrete, accounts for ∼ 5–7% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Carbon …

Encapsulation of Waste in Cementitious Systems for use in Civil Engineering Applications
… of the encapsulated plastic waste forms (concrete). The research work was also extended to provide an inferential statistical analysis of the physical and mechanical properties of the encapsulated plastic concrete relative to the control conventional concrete.<br/><br/>The overall results …
