Abstract: Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete, which consists of cement, coarse aggregates, water and if required and other cementations materials. As there are no fine aggregates used in the concrete matrix, the void content is more which allows the water to flow through its bodyThe main aim of this project was to improve the compressive strength characteristics of pervious concrete. But it can be noted that with increase in compressive strength the void ratio decreases. Hence, the improvement of strength should not affect the porosity property because it is the property which serves its purpose. In this investigation work the compressive strength of pervious concrete is increased by a maximum of 18.26% for 28 days when 8% fine aggregates were added to standard pervious concrete Keywords: W/C ratio, pervious Concrete, sugarcane bagasse’s ash, rice husk ash compressive strength, fine aggregates

Flooding is one of the climatic change consequences that has become a dangerous threat to many coastal cities. Pervious concrete is considered a solution to decrease rainwater runoff and mitigate flood effects, as it allows water to percolate through the ground and prevent possible damage. Using waste products as aggregates in pervious concrete not only exploits waste materials and makes it valuable but also reduces the amount of this waste ending in the landfill or harming the environment, and it decreases the demand for natural resources. Infiltration rate test and compressive strength tests were conducted to investigate the effect of using waste plastic and/or recycled rubber as concrete coarse aggregates with different ratios (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) on the pervious concrete. The results showed that increasing the waste materials in concrete decreased the compressive strength for all ratios while increased the infiltration rate values.

Application of recycled aggregates (RA) for concrete production is limited due to their poor quality. While the environmental benefits of using the RA are well accepted, some unsolved problems prevent this type of material from wide application in structural concrete. The research and development of techniques which can minimize the adverse effect of RA on the concrete properties are highly requested. A specific mixing approach can also be helpful; here, mineral additives play a significant role for improvement of RA performance within the mixing process. However, delivery process can influence the homogeneity and uniformity of the concrete mixtures, resulting in negative effect on technical parameters. In this study, the impact of delivery time (0 min, 45 min, and 90 min) on the set of hardened concrete properties is presented while the three-stage mixing is used. Two kinds of additives—fly ash (FA) and recycled concrete powder (RCP)—were tested to coat the coarse fraction of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in the first step of mixing. For comparison, cement as coating material and natural aggregate instead the RCA were also used. The following parameters were tested after 28 days of setting and hardening: density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, water absorption capacity, and depth of penetration of water under pressure. Generally, 90 min of working with concrete mixtures left no significantly negative influence on tested characteristics. Based on ANOVA results, with prolonged discharge time, the changes in composition of the mixtures become less important for compressive strength, density, and water absorption.

Pervious concrete (PC), as an environmental friendly material, can be very important in solving urban problems and mitigating the impact of climate change; i.e., flooding, urban heat island phenomena, and groundwater decline. The objective of this research is to evaluate the strength, permeability, and freeze-thaw durability of PC with different aggregate sizes, porosities, and water-binder ratios. The orthogonal experiment method is employed in the study and nine experiments are conducted. The compressive strength, flexural strength, permeability coefficient, porosity, density, and freeze-thaw durability of PC mixtures are tested. Range analysis and variance analysis are carried out to analyze the collected data and estimate the influence of aggregate size, porosity, and water-binder ratio on PC properties. The results indicate that porosity is the most important factor determining the properties of PC. High porosity results in better permeability, but negatively affects the mechanical strength and freeze-thaw durability. PC of 15% porosity can obtain high compressive strength in excess of 20 MPa and favorable freeze-thaw durability of 80 cycles without sacrificing excessive permeability. Aggregate size also has a significant effect on freeze-thaw durability and mechanical strength. Small aggregate size is advantageous for PC properties. PC with 4.75–9.5 mm coarse aggregate presents excellent freeze-thaw durability. The influence of the water-binder ratio on PC properties is not as significant as that of aggregate size and porosity. An optimal mix ratio is required to trade-off between permeability, mechanical strength, and freeze-thaw durability.

AbstractBased on the available literature, a simple method was adopted to calculate the packing density of aggregates and thereby reduce their void content by optimising their packing aggregates and by using two different sizes of coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. This study provides an understanding of the way in which the shape of aggregates affects the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The fresh, hardened, and durable properties of SCC with normal and lightweight fly ash coarse aggregates are found at the corresponding age of the curing. Their values were compared with respect to SCC containing normal aggregates. A mix with fly ash aggregates was found to have better fresh concrete properties due to the round shape of the aggregates. After the packing of the aggregates, this mix was found to have better mechanical and durability properties than all the other concrete mixes.

This paper deals with the possibility of the improvement of pervious concrete properties by incorporation of different types of fibres and studies the effect of short duration vibration of pervious concrete properties in comparison with compaction with wooden lath and hammer. Ten mixtures of pervious concrete were prepared, five of which were compacted with wooden lath and hammer and five by short duration vibration. Density, porosity, permeability and mechanical properties were tested for in hardened pervious concrete specimens. It was concluded that mixtures compacted by short duration vibration had better mechanical properties due to the formation of a viscous layer at the contact surface between the aggregate grain and the cement matrix during the compaction, as well as pore-related properties. The addition of fibres negatively affected porosity and permeability but generally improved mechanical properties of concrete. The positive effect of fibre addition was more emphasised in cases of vibrated mixtures.

Pervious concrete is a mixture of cement, coarse aggregate mixed with water. The absence of fine aggregate helps increase the voids and water can pass through these gaps and reaches to ground level. The use of recycled coarse aggregates from construction and demolition is a sustainable solution with many environmental benefits and also reduces the number of virgin aggregates to be created, hence reducing the extraction of natural resources. This paper reviews the research developments of pervious concrete by replacing natural aggregates with different percentages of recycled coarse aggregate. The papers under consideration of review have conducted to identify various properties of pervious concrete such as mechanical and hydrological properties. Keywords— pervious concrete, compressive strength, permeability

In the search of alternative materials for the replacement of conventional coarse aggregate, the feasibility of utilizing agricultural waste products was looked into in the effort of producing a more environmentally friendly and less dense concrete. Mechanical properties of partially substituted coarse aggregates using oil palm shell (OPS) in a concrete composite reinforced with a low volume fraction of coconut fibre (CF) have been studied for its feasibility as an alternative solution to the problem. Analysis on the impact of compressive strength, flexural strength, density and Young’s modulus have been conducted on hardened coconut fibre reinforced concrete (CFRC) at 15% and 25% substitution by volume of conventional coarse aggregates with OPS. The properties of the composite concrete were evaluated with reference to the control sample, CFRC reinforced with 0.2% fibre volume fraction. The results have shown that it is feasible to produce a sustainable grade 30 concrete of lower density with CFRC at 25% level of OPS substitution.
