Experimental Investigation of Pervious Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
the paper provides technical information on pervious concrete’s application, design methods, mixture proportioning and inspection. The term “pervious concrete” typically describes a near-zero-slump, open-graded material consisting of Portland cement, coarse aggregate, little or no fine aggregate and water. The combination of these ingredients will produce a hardened material with connected pores, ranging in size from 6.3 to 10mm.That allow water to pass through easily. The void content can range from 15 to 35%, with typical compressive strengths of 2.8 to 28 MPa. The drainage rate of pervious concrete pavement will vary with aggregate size and density of the mixture, but will generally fall into the range of 81 to 730 L/min/m2. Pervious concrete is widely recognized as a sustainable building material, as it reduces storm water runoff, improves storm water quality, may recharge groundwater supplies, and can reduce the impact of the urban heat island effect.
