Porous concrete is commonly used by ecologically sound construction companies, since it helps to manage water runoff in sustainable way. Many so-called “green” builders promote the use of porous concrete in their projects [1]. Although porous concrete is a viable material that has the potential to replace the use of traditional concrete pavements in situations where heavy traffic is limited, porous concrete has been predominantly used in non-pavements applications, with only a limited use in pavements applications. This paper provides a clear indication of design and maintenance of porous concrete in pavements applications. Various designs of porous concrete pavement were schematized and explained.

Noise Evaluation

In order to evaluate noise characteristic of concrete pavements with different texture, specimens were prepared carefully by varying groove parameters, such as groove width and space between grooves. Employing tire impact method, the noise level and noise spectrum of different pavements were analyzed. The results indicate that the noise level of transverse grooved concrete pavement is the greatest, and the followings are glossy concrete pavement and longitudinal grooved concrete pavement, porous concrete pavement has the lowest noise level. For grooved pavement, the noise level is promoted with increasing the space between grooves. Besides that, the noise level of transverse grooved concrete pavement becomes greater as the groove width increases. For longitudinal grooved pavement, there is a contrary tendency. It is porous concrete pavement for a frequency larger than 1600HZ. In the whole frequency range, the noise-reduction ability of transverse grooved concrete pavement is the worst.

Porous concrete technology has been used since 1970s in various parts of the United State as an option to complex drainage systems and water retention areas.Porous concrete pavements have become popular as an effective stormwater management device to control the stormwater runoff in pavement. The objective of this paper is to study a pre-review on Porous concrete pavement and it previous laboratory study. From the literature, it was found that, the strength of the porous concrete pavementstill need to improve. To improve the strength of the porous concrete, various additive have been study as a part of porous concrete mix and yetthe optimum condition to produce good porous concrete still not been established. From the previous study, it was found that to prepare the porous concrete laboratory specimen, the use of standard Proctor hammer (2.5kg) and Pneumatic press (70 kPa compaction effort) resulted in the closest properties to the field porous concrete.

Porous concrete pavement is being used as one of the solution to decrease the storm water runoff by capturing and allowing rain water to drain into the land surface. The main problem of porous concrete pavement is the strength itself. The objective of this paper is to review the use and performance of nanosilica in porous concrete pavement. From the literature review of the previous research, it was found that the conventional porous concrete pavement doesn't has good strength for pavement purpose. An addition of nanomaterial will improve the physical and chemical properties of the porous concrete pavement.

Hydration Kinetics

A jointed plain concrete pavement represents a reliable, historically proven technical solution for highly loaded roads, highways, airports and other industrial surfaces. Excellent resistance to permanent deformations (rutting) and also durability and maintenance costs play key roles in assessing the economic benefits, rehabilitation plans, traffic closures, consumption and recycling of materials. In the history of concrete pavement construction, slow-to-normal hardening Portland cement was used in Czechoslovakia during the 1970s-1980s. The pavements are being replaced after 40-50 years of service, mostly due to vertical slab displacements due to missing dowel bars. However, pavements built after 1996 used rapid hardening cements, resulting in long-term surface cracking and decreased durability. In order to build durable concrete pavements, slower hardening slag-blended binders were designed and tested in the restrained ring shrinkage test and in isothermal calorimetry. Corresponding concretes were tested mainly for the compressive/tensile strength evolution and deicing salt-frost scaling to meet current specifications. The pilot project was executed on a 14 km highway, where a unique temperature-strain monitoring system was installed to provide long-term data from the concrete pavement. A thermo-mechanical coupled model served for data validation, showing a beneficial role of slower hydration kinetics. Continuous monitoring interim results at 24 months have revealed small curling induced by drying and the overall small differential shrinkage of the slab.

Coefficient Of Permeability

Permeable concrete pavement is a kind of porous road, which can allow rainwater to penetrate into the ground and maintain the recyclability of water resources. However, with constantly using, its voids may be blocked with the impurities in the rainwater, such as leaves, silt, etc. If that happens, the permeable function of the permeable concrete pavement will be affected. In this paper, the different structure of the permeable concrete pavement is studied, including the variation trend of the coefficient of permeability in the simulated plugging and the recovery rate of the permeable concrete pavement after cleaning and dredging. The results show that the upper small size coarse aggregate (4.75 mm to 9.5 mm) structure of the porous concrete is conducive to filter out most of the impurities, and it will reinforce the resistance to blocking of permeable concrete. But, it is not easy to recover after blockage, if the upper small size coarse aggregate is too thick. The anti-blocking performance and post-blocking recovery rate of permeable concrete are better, when the upper layer thickness is 15 mm.

Abstract Common porous concrete templates (CPCT) and advanced porous concrete templates (APCT) were employed in this study to construct wetlands for their applications in pollutant removal from storm runoff. The planting ability of the concrete was investigated by growing Festuca elata plants in them. Strength of the porous concrete (7.21 ± 0.19 Mpa) decreased by 1.8 and 4.9% over a period of six and 12 months, respectively, due to its immersion in lake water. The height and weight of Festuca elata grass growth on the porous concrete were observed to be 12.6–16.9 mm and 63.4–95.4 mg, respectively, after a duration of one month. Advanced porous concrete template based constructed wetland (APCT-CW) showed better removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) (49.6%), total suspended solids (TSS) (58.9), NH3-N (52.4%), total nitrogen (TN) (47.7%) and total phosphorus (TP) (45.5%) in storm water, when compared with the common porous concrete template based constructed wetland (CPCT-CW) with 20.6, 29.8, 30.1, 35.4 and 26.9%, respectively. The removal of Pb, Ni, Zn by the CPCT-CW unit were 28.9, 33.3 and 42.3%, respectively, whereas these were 51.1, 62.5 and 53.8%, respectively, with the APCT-CW unit. These results demonstrate that the advanced porous concrete template in constructed wetland could be employed successfully for the removal of pollutants from urban storm water runoff.
