Investigating Mechanical and Hydraulic Properties of Porous Concrete Pavements

Porous concrete pavements are gaining research importance as they are instrumental in addressing two major environmental challenges: recharging groundwater and reducing stormwater runoff. In developing countries like India where demand for paved roads is increasing multifold, porous concrete pavements might prove a good alternative over conventional pavements owing to the above-said advantages. However, their use is limited to sidewalks and low-volume roads as they exhibit low strength and are less durable. Strength improvement of porous concrete is the need of the hour. Most of the studies on porous concrete focused on permeability and hydraulic properties. However, strength improvement is not well addressed. Using small quantities of fine aggregates, graded course aggregates would substantially improve the strength of porous concrete. Also, fibers are said to greatly enhance the strength of porous concrete paving the way for their use in high-volume roads. The present study focuses on investigating the compressive strength and its improvements of porous concrete pavements using plastic and steel fibers. Compressive strength tests were performed for the designed mixes. Also, total air void tests were conducted to measure the possible groundwater recharge.
