this paper presents theoretical and numerical state-of-the-art information in the field of hygro-thermo-mechanical deformation simulation in structural concrete. the aspects discussed include coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical performance of porous materials including concrete, multi-scale simulation of concrete properties especially the volumetric and structural deformation performance, and the m...

Porous concrete is a mixture of cement and water that may contain fine grains, which play a role in water transfer and permeability. Porous concrete can act as a drain to pass rainwater and recharge groundwater. In this study, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% zeolite were used to replace the coarse aggregates in porous concrete. The effects of the zeolite on the compressive strength, permeability coeffi...

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...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of porous vegetation concrete block made from blast furnace slag cement containing industrial by-products such as blast furnace slag aggregate and powder. The blocks were tested for void ratio, compressive strength and freeze-thaw resistance to determine the optimal mixing ratio for the porous vegetation block. An economic analysis of th...

This study aims to evaluate economic and environmental benefits of porous pavement surface using life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA). The research will focus on application of porous surface for sidewalk. The life-cycle inventory data were collected from literature search, online database, and project records. The comparison study was conducted between pervious pavin...

concrete deformation due to temperature and moisture condition will always develop simultaneously and interactively. the environmentally (hygral and thermally) induced stress and deformation are essential to concrete durability. to simulate the deformation of concrete caused by the coupling effect of temperature and moisture, a numerical simulation approach is proposed comprising analytical pro...

The influence of carbonation on corrosion of reinforcement depends on the degree of ease of diffusion of CO2 through the concrete from its surface, also on environmental conditions, on the pore structure of concrete (cement, aggregates, and water (without additives)) and on the W / C, where a high ratio generates porous and permeable mortar and concrete (Duran C., 2003; Troconis O. et al., 2006...
