AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PERVIOUS CONCRETE WITH PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF COARSE AGGREGATE BY PEBBLE STONE

  • Unique Paper ID: 179830
  • PageNo: 8293-8296
  • Abstract:
  • Pervious concrete is a type of pavement that allows water to infiltrate through the surface into the ground below. Pervious concrete is designed to manage storm water runoff in urban areas by reducing the amount of runoff that flows into storm drains and ultimately into nearby waterways. This innovative solution offers many benefits, including reduced flooding, improved water quality, reduced heat island effect, improved air quality, and reduced maintenance costs. Pervious concrete is made up of a porous concrete surface layer that is typically 3 to 6 inches thick. The porous surface allows water to infiltrate into the ground below the pavement. Underneath the surface layer, there is a gravel or crushed stone layer that provides additional storage for storm water. Finally, there is a subbase layer of pebble stone or crushed stone that supports the pavement structure. The construction of pervious concrete involves careful planning and design to ensure that it is effective in managing storm water runoff. Proper design includes consideration of factors such as soil conditions, drainage patterns, and traffic loads. Additionally, proper maintenance is essential to ensure the long-term effectiveness of pervious concrete. Maintenance may include regular vacuuming to remove debris from the surface, periodic power washing to remove accumulated sediment, and repairs to damaged pavement sections. The strength parameters and permeability parameters met the requirements and pervious concrete made with pebbles as a coarse aggregate can be used for sustainable pavement construction.
