Performance Of Pervious Concrete as A Replacement for Road Curb

Abstract Pervious concrete is a well-known type of characterized by its high porosity and permeability. It finds extensive use in road infrastructure, particularly pavement construction, offers cost-saving benefits due to the absence fine aggregates mixture. While curbs are still commonly built today, utilization pervious as substitute for rarely observed. Therefore, this study focuses on evaluating compressive strength, flexural suitability curb replacement. In investigation, different water cement ratios (0.30, 0.33, 0.35, 0.38, 0.40) were employed during mixing determine most optimal ratio achieve highest strength curb. To obtain results, tests conducted ten samples after curing period 28 days. The aimed examine diverse effects various ratios. findings indicate decrease stress increased. Furthermore, mix was significantly stronger at 0.30 but exhibited decline with higher Similar results obtained test, where recorded value strength. However, 0.40 yielded second-highest These emphasize that lower leads further enhance concrete, several recommendations proposed, including coating reinforcement bars, adjustment coarse aggregate size, addition admixtures
