PERVIOUS CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

Introduction 1.Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete with a high porosity

used for concrete flatwork applications

Necaeessstiatgyation during rainy season on the roads, especially in western W tr n

countries roads are covered by snow creates the nuisance to the traffic.

Applications

Low-volume pavements Residential roads Parking areas Tennis court Slope stabilization Walls (including load-bearing) Noise barriers Subbase for conventional concrete pavements University of Tennessee-Chattanooga Finley Stadium

Pervious concrete pavement systems provide a valuable storm water management tool & helps to control the amount of contaminants in our waterways. Impervious pavements-- particularly parking lots-- collect oil, antifreeze, and other automobile fluids that can be washed into streams, lakes, and oceans when it rains. Several studies have been conducted on the behavior of oil introduced into a pervious pavement system.

Mix Design

Pervious concrete uses same material as that of conventional concrete . With the exception that fine aggregate is typically eliminated entirely. Narrow grading of coarse aggregate is used, for relative little particle packing.

Cementitious Materials

As in traditional concrete, Portland cement &blended cements are used.

In addition supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash, puzzolona, ground granulated blast furnace are used.

Aggregate

Pervious concrete have focused on parking lots, low-traffic pavements, and pedestrian walkways. For these applications, the smallest-sized aggregate feasible is used for aesthetic reasons.

Water

Coarse aggregate size 9.5-mm top size has been used extensively.

Water-to-cement ratios between 0.27 and 0.30 are used by chemical admixtures

As high as 0.34 to 0.40 have been used successfully. Water content should be tightly controlled

Admixtures
Because of the rapid setting time associated with pervious concrete, retarders or hydration-stabilizing admixtures are commonly used. Use of chemical admixtures should closely follow manufacturers recommendations . Proprietary admixture products that facilitate placement and protection of pervious pavements are also used.

Pervious Pavement Design

PERVIOUS CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

Hydrological & structural design considerations. Two factors determine the design thickness of pervious pavements: the hydraulic properties, such as permeability and volume of voids, and the mechanical properties, such as strength and stiffness.

ENGINEERING Properties OF PERVIOUS CONCRETE

1.Fresh Properties 2.Hardened Properties

Fresh Properties

Slumps, when measured, are generally less than 20 mm, although slumps as high as 50 mm have been used Concrete working time is typically reduced for pervious concrete mixtures. Usually, one hour between mixing and placing is all that is recommended. Using retarders and hydration stabilizers that extend the working time by as much as 1.5 hours, depending on the dosage.

Hardened Properties

Densities on the order of 1600 kg/m to 2000 kg/m Can be achieved. Typical flow rates for water through pervious concrete is 0.2 cm/s to 0.54 cm/s, with rates of up to 1.2 cm/s. Flexural strength in pervious concretes generally ranges between about 1 MPa and 3.8 MPa.

Conclusion

Use of PPC affects the strength of permeable concrete to a considerable extent

PERVIOUS CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

Gap grading of aggregates results in more strength compared to uniform grading Compaction to a little extent is required to improve strength Heavy vibration is needed to be eliminated to avoid formation of cement paste layer at the bottom, which reduces the flow rate. Permeable concrete cubes for the same materials and water cement ratio , give more strength when made with smaller size aggregates.
