This paper focuses on porous concrete pavement. Porous concrete is constructed in a similar fashion to traditional concrete, by mixing cement, water, and aggregates. The primary goal of any porous con-crete system is to achieve adequate porosity so that water can readily pass through the system and into the subbase. Creation of air voids
Pervious concrete, sometimes referred to as no-fines, gap-graded, per meable, or enhanced porosity concrete, is an innovative approach to controlling, managing, and treating stormwater runoff.
Typical cross section of pervious concrete pavement. On level subgrades, stormwater storage is provided in the pervious concrete surface layer (15% to 25% voids), the subbase (20% to 40% voids), and above the surface to the height of the curb (100% voids).
It is concluded that the newly designed porous concrete block is more cost-effective, light-weight, and vegetative-compatible than the conventional concrete block of the same size.
26 facility is comprised of a parking area constructed using porous concrete pavement, 27 approximately 49 m by 64 m (160’ by 210’). A typical cross section of the porous concrete 28 pavement system consists of a 15.2 cm (6”) thick layer of porous concrete, a 5.1 cm (2”) thick
This article presents a study on two very common types of Portland cement concrete; (a) zero slump concrete or roller compacted concrete (RCC) and (b) usual conventional concrete.
Porous pavements prevent pollutants from entering into the water table and therefore, are considered sustainable construction. However, porous pavements eventually fill with debris and get...
