Pervious concrete

While pervious concrete has been around for more than 50 yrs, it has only recently gained attention.

This paper contains an interview-based study focusing on permeable pavements as part of sustainable drainage systems. Climate change is causing pluvial flooding, according to the newest IPCC report. This mostly affects urban areas in cities due to: (1) limited capacity of existing drainage systems during heavy-intensity rainfall over a short period of time and (2) limited space for ditches in city areas. Permeable pavements are, therefore, sustainable drainage solutions which combine road…

Pervious concrete has large voids that allow water or air to pass through it. The pores size varies from 2 to 8 mm, has a void content of 18

Pervious concrete is a relatively new concept for rural road pavement, with increase into the problems in rural areas related to the low ground water level, agricultural problem. Pervious concrete has introduced in rural road as a road pavement material. Pervious concrete as a paving material has seen renewed interest due to its ability to […] The post Pervious Concrete – an overview of mix design/ applications appeared first on Constro Facilitator.

A key component of structural strength and essential building material is concrete. By virtue of its name, we automatically assume that concrete must be impenetrable, leak- and damp-proof, and strong enough to support the load. Concrete must be impermeable to water since, in RCC constructions, it will cause steel to corrode.
