Spending costs in construction of road pavements has turned this subject into one of the significant points in transportation infrastructure of countries. Concrete slabs consider as a paving method with ability of reducing the rehabilitation needs. Therefore, to manage costs and optimize the thickness of concrete pavements, recognizing the amount of determinative factors’ influence will be requ...

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...

Pakistan is facing adverse environmental issues peculiarly in major cities. The condition gets worst during monsoon period when the whole city faces urban flooding due to stagnation of storm water on all streets and areas. main reason lack infra-structure mitigate crisis which faced by country rainfall season. introduction Pervious Concrete pavement can easily limit problems sump rain water. As...

Weak bonding between layers of pavement leads to damages on the composite pavement. Bonding plays an important role in the durability and maintenance of composite pavement layers. The present study evaluates the factors effective in bond strength of the interface between concrete and asphalt pavements. The factors considered for this purpose include steel slag percentage in the concrete pavemen...

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 evalu...

The urban heat island (UHI) effect poses significant challenges to environmental quality and public health. Over the decades, research efforts have been made develop various UHI mitigation strategies, including pavement materials, such as, water-retentive pavement, reflective pervious concrete. This paper focuses on improvement of hygric water retention properties concrete mitigate phenomena. h...
