The mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance of HSPC were evaluated,and a design method of HSPC pore characteristics(porosity and pore diameter) based on the mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance was proposed. The results showed that the reduction of effective cross-sectional area caused by artificial channels was the main factor affecting flexural strength but had limited influence on compressive strength. Compared with the concrete matrix without artificial channels,the compressive strength of HSPC with porosity of 2.011% decreased by 7.4%, while the flexural strength decreased by 48.3%. The permeability coefficient of HSPC can reach 16.35 mm/s even at low porosity(2.011%).HSPC can meet the requirements of no rainstorm waterlogging, even if exposed to 100-year rainstorms. When the mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance are compromised, the recommended porosity ranges from 1.1% to 3.5%, and the recommended pore diameter ranges from 0.8 to 2.7 mm.展开更多

The improved design method is mainly based on the optimal volume ratio of paste to aggregate(VRPA), which was determined by testing the average thickness of cement paste coating aggregate. The performances of pervious concrete designed by the traditional method and the improved one were compared. The results show that with the increase of designed porosity, the reduction of compressive strength and flexural strength of pervious concrete designed by the improved method is significantly smaller than those designed by the traditional one. The maximum deviation between the designed and actual porosity of the pervious concrete by the improved method is only 1.54%, which is far less than 8.7% obtained by the traditional one. Micro-structural analysis shows that the porous distribution of pervious concrete designed by improved method exhibits better uniformity.展开更多

Fractal geometry was introduced in the present work to accurately simulate transect contour curves of pervious concrete specimens through fractal interpolation. It is proved that its fractal dimension (D) can be adopted to measure the skid resistance on pervious concrete pavement, overcoming the shortcomings of both macrotexture depth (DT ) and British portable pendulum number (NBP). Combined with Fujikawa-Koike tire/road contact model, the optimization method of all surface textures was recommended for designing and constructing excellently skid-resistant and noise-absorptive pervious concrete pavement. In addition, evaluating of the abrasion process and attenuation of the surface textures on concrete pavement slabs was also the focus of this work based on accelerated abrasion test. Results show that the surface textures on pervious concrete pavement slabs is extremely durable, compared to those on conventional grooved or exposed aggregate concrete pavement slabs.展开更多

In addition, the effect of mixture design parameters particularly, water-to-cement ratio (W/C) and size of aggregate on the permeability coefficient of PC was investigated. The PC mixtures were made with 4 range of W/C and 2 range size of aggregate. PC mixes were made from each aggregate and were tested. The results showed that the W/C and aggregate size are key parameters which significantly affect the characteristic performance of PC. Permeability coefficient of coarse pervious concrete (CPC) is bigger than fine pervious concrete (FPC) and the porosity of CPC are bigger than porosity of FPC. A regression model (RM) along with analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to study the significance of porosity distribution on permeability coefficient of PC. The statistical model developed in this study can facilitate prediction permeability coefficient of CPC and FPC as the sustainable pavements.展开更多

OPC （Ordinary Portland Cement） was replaced in the concrete mix by 15%, 25% and 35% weight percentages and the results were compared with reference mixtures with 100% Portland cement. The variables in this study were trass content, aggregate size and water to cement ratio. Sixteen eases of concrete mixtures were tested to study physical and mechanical properties of hardened concrete, including porosity, permeability, compressive strength, splitting-tensile strength and flexural strength at various ages. Results indicated that mechanical properties of the pervious concrete marginally decreased with the increased content of trass when compared to the reference mixtures. However, at later ages the differences were insignificant.展开更多

Belém, one of the main cities in the region, suffers from intense flooding due to urbanization growth and the disorderly occupation of floodplains. The objective was to evaluate the producing of pervious concrete that meets the mechanical and hydraulic performance criteria for permeable pavement molded on site and to simulate the replacement of the entire public walkway system of a hydrographic basin in Belém in order to verify if this measure would alter the permeability of the basin and meet minimum requirements of at least 25% permeable area. The properties of three mixtures of pervious concrete with aggregates of different grading were evaluated. The permeability and flexural strength of all blends were higher than the minimum required for use as a permeable pavement for light vehicle traffic. The simulation showed that replacement of the public walkway by permeable pavement increased the permeable area of the watershed from 19 to 23%, changing from a poor condition to an acceptable level. The results indicate the potential to improve the performance of drainage systems through the wider use of permeable pavement associated with traditional structural measures.展开更多

This study focuses on the bearing capacity of a pervious concrete pile with different replacementratios. The axial force, skin friction, and settlement were evaluated using a model test to assess the performance ofthe pervious concrete pile composite foundation. When the replacement ratio was reduced from 9.26% to 2.32%,the characteristic bearing capacity value was only 14%. Therefore, it may be unreasonable to use the settlementratio method to evaluate this composite foundation's bearing capacity in a model test. Appropriate loading cansignificantly improve the bearing capacity of a pervious concrete pile composite foundation with a lowreplacement ratio. The pile–soil stress ratio exhibited different decreasing ranges in the later loading stage. As theload increased, the axial force of the pervious concrete piles was small and nonobvious, and the average sidefriction resistance of the piles in the foundation with a lower replacement ratio slowly increased.展开更多

Enhancing the surface microtexture of pervious concrete may also be beneficial in preventing icing or slipping by pedestrians. This research explored different surface treatments on pervious concrete specimens both qualitatively from personal judgements, and quantitatively through static friction measurements with a spring balance with respect to ＂slipperiness＂. The tests were performed on both dry and wet specimens. One aim was to determine whether the spring balance method may be a simple test for comparing surface treatments on pavement samples with little surface area such as laboratory specimens or sidewalk sections. The other purpose was to make a preliminary decision of which surface treatments to use for a sidewalk installation for future studies on wintertime performance. The reliability analysis of the spring balance results showed that there was high operator consistency. In addition, there was a high level of consistency on average results between the quantitative and qualitative methods. This implies that the spring balance test may be an acceptable methodology for comparative analyses with respect to static friction.展开更多

文摘High-strength pervious concrete(HSPC) with porosity ranging from 0.08% to 2.011% was prepared. The mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance of HSPC were evaluated,and a design method of HSPC pore characteristics(porosity and pore diameter) based on the mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance was proposed. The results showed that the reduction of effective cross-sectional area caused by artificial channels was the main factor affecting flexural strength but had limited influence on compressive strength. Compared with the concrete matrix without artificial channels,the compressive strength of HSPC with porosity of 2.011% decreased by 7.4%, while the flexural strength decreased by 48.3%. The permeability coefficient of HSPC can reach 16.35 mm/s even at low porosity(2.011%).HSPC can meet the requirements of no rainstorm waterlogging, even if exposed to 100-year rainstorms. When the mechanical properties and rainstorm waterlogging resistance are compromised, the recommended porosity ranges from 1.1% to 3.5%, and the recommended pore diameter ranges from 0.8 to 2.7 mm.

Micro-structural analysis shows that the porous distribution of pervious concrete designed by improved method exhibits better uniformity.

文摘Surface textures had long been recognized as primary factors to provide the skid resistance on pavements; however, no measurement of skid resistance on pervious concrete pavement with various surface texture parameters had been made. Fractal geometry was introduced in the present work to accurately simulate transect contour curves of pervious concrete specimens through fractal interpolation. It is proved that its fractal dimension (D) can be adopted to measure the skid resistance on pervious concrete pavement, overcoming the shortcomings of both macrotexture depth (DT ) and British portable pendulum number (NBP). Combined with Fujikawa-Koike tire/road contact model, the optimization method of all surface textures was recommended for designing and constructing excellently skid-resistant and noise-absorptive pervious concrete pavement. In addition, evaluating of the abrasion process and attenuation of the surface textures on concrete pavement slabs was also the focus of this work based on accelerated abrasion test. Results show that the surface textures on pervious concrete pavement slabs is extremely durable, compared to those on conventional grooved or exposed aggregate concrete pavement slabs.

文摘A recycled aggregate(RA)was prepared by crushing and sieving demolished discarded concrete pavements and was subsequently tested and analyzed to determine its various physical properties.On this basis,pervious concrete(PC)mix proportions were designed.Coarse RA particles with sizes of 5–10 and 10–20 mm were selected.Concrete specimens were prepared with a water–cement ratio of 0.3,an aggregate–cement ratio of 4.5,the substitute rates of RA with 0,25%,50%,75%and a single-/double-gap-graded RA mix(mass ratio of particles with sizes of 5–10 mm to particles with sizes of 10–20 mm:1:1,1:2,2:1,2:3 and 3:2).Various properties of the RA-containing PC(RPC)were determined by analyzing the compressive strength,splitting tensile strength,effective porosity,permeation coefficient and impact and abrasion resistance of the specimens.The results showed the following:The density of the RPC decreased with an increasing RA replacement ratio.The density of the RPC prepared with a double-gapgraded RA mix was lower than that prepared with a single-gap-graded RA(particle size:10–20 mm)mix.The permeation coefficient of the RPC increased with increasing porosity.The splitting tensile strength of the RPC was positively correlated with its compressive strength.The compressive strength of the RPC decreased with increasing porosity.The regression analysis showed that the impact and abrasion resistance of the RPC increased with increasing compressive strength.In addition,all of the RPC specimens met the strength and permeation requirements.This study can provide theoretical support for the application of RPC.

文摘Pervious concrete(PC)is at risk of clogging due to the continuous blockage of sand into it during its service time.This study aims to evaluate and predict such clogging behavior of PC using hybrid machine learning techniques.Based on the 84 groups of the dataset developed in the earlier study,the clogging behavior of the PC was determined by the algorithm combing the SVM(support vector machines)and particle swarm optimization(PSO)methods.The PSO algorithm was employed to adjust the hyperparameters of the SVM and verify the performance using 10-fold cross-validation.The predicting results of the developed model were assessed by the coefficient of determination(R)and root mean square error(RMSE).The importance of the influential variables on the clogging behavior of PC was evaluated as well.The results showed that the PSO algorithm can effectively adjust the hyperparameters of the SVM model and can be used to construct the predictive model for the clogging behavior of the PC.The combined algorithm has the advantage of higher reliability and validity than the random hyperparameters selection.For the verification process,the developed model was able to obtain values of 0.9469 and 1.8148 for the R and RMSE,showing that the developed machine learning model can accurately be used to evaluate and predict the clogging behavior of the PC,guiding the mix-design of PC from the perspective of durability.The size of the clogging sand is the most important parameter and the thickness of the sample is the least significant factor affecting the clogging behavior.The proportions of the smallest aggregate size and largest aggregate size are the two most important design parameters of concrete with the consideration of the relatively higher importance scores,showing these two aggregates should be given special attention in future PC design for anti-clogging purposes.

文摘Pervious concrete is recommended,which is of great benefit to the ecological environment and human living environment.In this paper,the influences of five water-cement ratios and four fly ash contents to replace the cement by mass with a water-cement ratio of 0.30 on the properties of Recycled Aggregate Pervious Concrete(RAPC)were studied.Following this,based on the Grey relational-Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution(TOPSIS)optimization method,the strength,permeability,abrasion loss rate,and material costs of RAPC were adopted as evaluation indices to establish a mix proportion optimization model.The results show that the increase of water-cement ratio and fly ash replacement level of RAPC leads to decreased compres-sive strength while an increase in the permeability and abrasion loss rate.According to test results based on the optimal model 0.30 was identified as the best mix proportion.In addition,ecological-economic analysis of RAPC raw materials was carried out by comparing different natural aggregates.The results of EE(embodied energy)and ECO 2e(embodied CO_(2) emission)pointed out that the combination of recycled aggregate and fly ash leads to sig-nificant ecological and economic benefits.
文摘A study evaluating the relationship between porosity and permeability coefficient for pervious concrete (PC) is presented. In addition, the effect of mixture design parameters particularly, water-to-cement ratio (W/C) and size of aggregate on the permeability coefficient of PC was investigated. The PC mixtures were made with 4 range of W/C and 2 range size of aggregate. PC mixes were made from each aggregate and were tested. The results showed that the W/C and aggregate size are key parameters which significantly affect the characteristic performance of PC. Permeability coefficient of coarse pervious concrete (CPC) is bigger than fine pervious concrete (FPC) and the porosity of CPC are bigger than porosity of FPC. A regression model (RM) along with analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to study the significance of porosity distribution on permeability coefficient of PC. The statistical model developed in this study can facilitate prediction permeability coefficient of CPC and FPC as the sustainable pavements.
文摘Abstract： The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the suitability of using trass as a supplementary cementing material in pervious concrete. OPC （Ordinary Portland Cement） was replaced in the concrete mix by 15%, 25% and 35% weight percentages and the results were compared with reference mixtures with 100% Portland cement. The variables in this study were trass content, aggregate size and water to cement ratio. Sixteen eases of concrete mixtures were tested to study physical and mechanical properties of hardened concrete, including porosity, permeability, compressive strength, splitting-tensile strength and flexural strength at various ages. Results indicated that mechanical properties of the pervious concrete marginally decreased with the increased content of trass when compared to the reference mixtures. However, at later ages the differences were insignificant.
文摘The urbanization process of the urban centers in the Amazon occurred quickly and without planning. Belém, one of the main cities in the region, suffers from intense flooding due to urbanization growth and the disorderly occupation of floodplains. The objective was to evaluate the producing of pervious concrete that meets the mechanical and hydraulic performance criteria for permeable pavement molded on site and to simulate the replacement of the entire public walkway system of a hydrographic basin in Belém in order to verify if this measure would alter the permeability of the basin and meet minimum requirements of at least 25% permeable area. The properties of three mixtures of pervious concrete with aggregates of different grading were evaluated. The permeability and flexural strength of all blends were higher than the minimum required for use as a permeable pavement for light vehicle traffic. The simulation showed that replacement of the public walkway by permeable pavement increased the permeable area of the watershed from 19 to 23%, changing from a poor condition to an acceptable level. The results indicate the potential to improve the performance of drainage systems through the wider use of permeable pavement associated with traditional structural measures.

文摘Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete that is of high porosity and contains no or a small amount of fine aggregate,and it is an important basic material for sponge city construction.The presence of a large number of connected pores inside pervious concrete leads to a marked difference in durability failure mechanism compared with that of ordinary concrete.In this study,the frost resistance and anti-clogging of pervious concrete were introduced in detail,and the methods to improve their performance were summarized systematically.The cracking pattern of pervious concrete is influenced by geometric characteristics and three-dimensional morphological features of pores,resulting in its crack generation,development,and geometry being significantly different from those of ordinary concrete,thus leading to different freeze-thaw cycle mechanisms.In addition,due to its different pore structure compared to ordinary concrete,three types of clogging mechanisms,affecting the long-term permeability of pervious concrete were elaborated systematically(i.e.,physical clogging,biological clogging,and chemical clogging).And the ways to improve the anti-clogging of pervious concrete are systematically presented from multiple perspectives.Finally,in order to broaden the engineering applications of pervious concrete,some research proposals are presented in this study.

文摘The replacement ratio is an essential factor in evaluating the bearing capacity characteristics of compositefoundations. This study focuses on the bearing capacity of a pervious concrete pile with different replacementratios. The axial force, skin friction, and settlement were evaluated using a model test to assess the performance ofthe pervious concrete pile composite foundation. When the replacement ratio was reduced from 9.26% to 2.32%,the characteristic bearing capacity value was only 14%. Therefore, it may be unreasonable to use the settlementratio method to evaluate this composite foundation's bearing capacity in a model test. Appropriate loading cansignificantly improve the bearing capacity of a pervious concrete pile composite foundation with a lowreplacement ratio. The pile–soil stress ratio exhibited different decreasing ranges in the later loading stage. As theload increased, the axial force of the pervious concrete piles was small and nonobvious, and the average sidefriction resistance of the piles in the foundation with a lower replacement ratio slowly increased.

文摘Compressive and flexural strength,fracture energy,as well as fatigue property of pervious cement concrete with either supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) or polymer intensified,were analyzed.Test results show that the strength development of SCM-modified pervious concrete (SPC) differs from that of polymer-intensified pervious concrete (PPC),and porosity has little effect on their strength growth.PPC has higher flexural strength and remarkably higher flexural-to-compressive strength ratio than SPC at the same porosity level.Results from fracture test of pervious concrete mixes with porosity around 19.5% show that the fracture energy increases with increasing the dosage of polymer,reflecting the ductile damage features rather than brittleness.PPC displays far longer fatigue life than SPC for any given failure probability and at any stress level.It is proved that two-parameter Weibull probability function describes the flexural fatigue of pervious concrete.
文摘Pervious concrete systems are developing stormwater management technologies which also have wintertime benefits as melting snow may percolate into the system instead of refreezing on the surface. Enhancing the surface microtexture of pervious concrete may also be beneficial in preventing icing or slipping by pedestrians. This research explored different surface treatments on pervious concrete specimens both qualitatively from personal judgements, and quantitatively through static friction measurements with a spring balance with respect to ＂slipperiness＂. The tests were performed on both dry and wet specimens. One aim was to determine whether the spring balance method may be a simple test for comparing surface treatments on pavement samples with little surface area such as laboratory specimens or sidewalk sections. The other purpose was to make a preliminary decision of which surface treatments to use for a sidewalk installation for future studies on wintertime performance. The reliability analysis of the spring balance results showed that there was high operator consistency. In addition, there was a high level of consistency on average results between the quantitative and qualitative methods. This implies that the spring balance test may be an acceptable methodology for comparative analyses with respect to static friction.
