TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the mechanical properties, permeability, and durability of high performance pervious concrete (HPPC) incorporated by polyester and epoxy resins as polymeric composites, where ordinary cement material has been completely deleted.
27 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the developments in the field of pervious concrete using alternate construction materials is presented, which mainly focussed on the various properties of Pervious concrete based on the types of binders, admixtures and size of coarse aggregates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the albedo of pervious concrete with different porosity and found that the porosity decreases linearly with the increase of porosity, which is a potential countermeasure to the urban heat island effect.
Abstract: Pervious pavements have been advocated as a potential countermeasure to the urban heat island effect To understand if pervious pavements stay cooler than conventional pavements, the albedo of the pervious concrete must be understood This study measured the albedo of pervious concrete with different porosity Four Portland cement concrete mixes were casted, using designed amounts of sand to vary the porosity of the pervious concrete samples The samples were sliced and the spectral reflectance and albedo of the sliced samples were measured and analyzed It is found that the albedo of pervious concrete decreases linearly with the increase of the porosity The albedo of a pervious Portland concrete varies from 025 to 035, which is 005~015 lower than the albedo of conventional cement concrete Due to this lower albedo, it should be cautious to develop pervious concrete to battle with urban heat island unless the evaporation of pervious concrete is promoted to compensate the additional solar absorption caused by the low albedo

TL;DR: In this paper, the clogging process caused by particles in surface runoff entering the internal pores of porous concrete was studied, and a visualization method was applied to analyze the clog process in porous media.

TL;DR: An alternative mechanism for accelerated carbon sequestration in concrete was investigated in this article based on the pH change of waters in contact with pervious concrete which have been submerged in carbonate laden waters.
