Waste palm oil products can be recycled in the production of pervious geopolymer concrete (PGC) for long-term sustainable development. PGC is a non-slip porous pavement that allows water to pass through. Biomass aggregate (BA) produced by burning biomass and introduced as replacement natural (NA). BA mixed with fly ash (FA) alkaline liquid (AL) heated an oven at 80 °C 24 h produce coated (CBA)....

This research proposes an integrated building evaporative cooling assembly using pervious concrete acting as a thermally active system. The proof‐of‐concept prototype demonstrates the capacity of t...

Conventional pervious pavement materials (PPM) that consist of cement and aggregate are known for poor durability due to their brittle behavior. Thus, enhance the durability, we fabricated polymeric PPMs from durable abundant polyurethane (PU) undertook mechanical microscopic characterizations. PU-based PPM samples with varying sizes were produced examined test compressive strength water permea...

Complex sensitivity analysis of stresses in a concrete slab of the real type of rigid pavement made from recycled materials is performed. The computational model of the pavement is designed as a spatial (3D) model, is based on a nonlinear variant of the finite element method that respects the structural nonlinearity, enables to model different arrangements of joints, and the entire model can be...

Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC), is a concrete with zero slump, which is used in damming and road pavement. Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement (RCCP) bear heavy traffic loads and severe weather conditions. This type of concrete is due to its economic and environmental capabilities, including reduced construction and maintenance costs, longer durability and longer lifetime, as well as environmen...

Conductive concrete is a cementitious admixture containing a certain volumetric ratio of electrically conductive materials to attain high and stable electrical conductivity. Due to its electrical resistance, a thin overlay of conductive concrete can generate enough heat to prevent ice formation when energized by AC power. Under a research sponsored by Nebraska Department of Roads, Yehia and Tua...
