Pervious concrete towards sustainable construction
1. PERVIOUS CONCRETE TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTIONABSTRACTThis paper summarises the research programme focused on the evaluate properties ofperformance in pervious concrete by using the coarse aggregate and recycled materials as acoarse aggregate replacement. The objective of this research is the use of pervious concrete forsustainable construction activities continues to rise due to its several environmental benefits. Anecologically friendly of pervious concrete can be taken a step further by recycling materials arepleasing in construction, in this report were considered in the experiments are recycled concrete,Biomass Aggregate (Palm Oil Clinker) and recycled rubber tyres into the mix design. Theresearcher uses recycled materials as an aggregate replaces is economical for construction andminimizes the need for disposal by reducing dumping at landfills, towards increase the greenconcrete product in civil engineering construction. An engineered pervious concrete used forcontrolling stormwater management. The physical and mechanical properties of perviousconcrete are briefly discussed.1.0 INTRODUCTION OF PERVIOUS CONCRETEPervious concrete can be another name as porous concrete or no fine aggregate. Bradley J.Putman et al (1) was reported that several numbers of alternative names for pervious concrete,such as concrete mixture comprised of Portland cement, controlled amounts of water, uniformlygraded aggregate, little or no sand and sometimes other additives. Beeldens et al (2) studied thecompressive, tensile and flexural strength of pervious concrete mixtures tends to be lower thanconventional due to the high void ratio and lack of fine aggregate. Tennis et al (3) report thatpervious concrete has been used for a surprising number application, which is low-volumepavements, parking lots, sidewalks and pathways, pavement edge drains, noise barriers and slope Page 1 of 23
