Recycling Old Concrete as Waste Concrete Powder for Use in Pervious Concrete: Effects on Permeability, Strength and Eco-Friendliness

Virtual Pervious Concrete: Microstructure, Percolation, and Permeability

As the usage of pervious concrete continues to increase dramatically, a better understanding of the linkages between microstructure, transport properties, and durability will assist suppliers in mixture proportioning and design. This paper presents various virtual pervious concrete microstructural models and compares their percolation characteristics and computed transport properties to those o...

Prediction of Pervious Concrete Permeability and Compressive Strength Using Artificial Neural Networks

Pervious concrete is a concrete mixture prepared from cement, aggregates, water, little or no fines, and in some cases admixtures. The hydrological property of pervious concrete is the primary reason for its reappearance in construction. Much research has been conducted on plain concrete, but little attention has been paid to porous concrete, particularly to the analytical prediction modeling o...

Predicting the Permeability of Pervious Concrete (Enhanced Porosity Concrete) from Non-Destructive Electrical Measurements

The effectiveness of a pervious concrete pavement to transport water through it depends on the intrinsic permeability of the system. However, this characteristic is usually defined in terms of the porosity of the material. It has been observed that porosity alone is an inadequate indicator of the permeability of pervious concretes, since the permeability depends on pore sizes, geometry and conn...

Concrete Debris Recycling, Environmental and Economic Effects

In this paper, first we identify the destruction ways of concrete constructions and the benefits of waste management and the plans to recycle the concrete debris were investigated and it was concluded that the existence of plans to recycle the concrete debris could lead to big economic save ups and by recycling these debris we can create affordable ways for concrete making centers. By the way, ...
