Benefits of Pervious Concrete for Urbanized Habitats

Modern Environmental Science and Engineering, 2022
Pervious (draining) concrete is a new generation concrete which, for its structure, allows rainwater to enter the subsoil and at the same time is determining the final surface without the need for any additional layer. Pervious concrete allows to drain off up to 95% of precipitation, which represents a significant contribution to ecology and ...

Beaver Versus Human: The Big Differences in Small Dams

WIREs Water, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Illustration of the net benefits and costs of different types of dams considered in this paper. The types of dams are ordered by relative benefit from left to right, with the most beneficial on the left. The number of + symbols under benefits and − symbols under costs indicate the likely magnitude of the effect, from + for small effect to +++ for ...

Review on frost resistance and anti-clogging of pervious concrete

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online)
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.

Influence of compaction energy on pervious concrete properties and vertical porosity distribution

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2023
Compaction is a fundamental step in pervious concrete production and affects its mechanical and hydraulic properties. In this study, two pervious concrete mixtures were compacted with three different energies, distributed in two and three layers.

A Scale‐Adaptive Urban Hydrologic Framework: Incorporating Network‐Level Storm Drainage Pipes Representation

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Below‐ground urban stormwater networks (BUSNs) significantly influence urban flood dynamics, yet their representation at the watershed or larger scales remains challenging. We introduce a scalable urban hydrologic framework that centers on a novel network‐level BUSN representation, balancing the needs for physical basis, parameter parsimony ...

Application of a fuzzy, indicator‐based methodology for investigating the functional vulnerability of critical infrastructures to flood hazards

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract Hazard vulnerability assessment of critical infrastructures (CIs) is crucial for ranking infrastructures based on their level of criticality, enabling the urban managers to prioritize CIs for allocating funds in the hazard mitigation/recovery process. This study aims to provide a framework for ranking CIs based on a rapid and preliminary flood

Insights into the properties of pervious concrete modified with polymers and fine aggregate

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Pervious concrete is increasingly being utilized in urban road construction; however, its low strength and durability limit its broader applications. This study explores the use of fine aggregate and polymers to enhance the strength and durability of ...

Integrative highway rights‐of‐way management to reduce stormwater run‐off and enhance habitat

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2025.
Nature‐based management along highway rights‐of‐way (ROW) has been a focus in several states to benefit pollinators through supporting diverse and native vegetative communities. There is the potential to enhance the ecological benefits of this practice by integrating stormwater management into restoration plans and incorporating other complex ...

Experimental Study on Sedimentation Removal of Pervious Concrete

Archives of Civil Engineering, 2018
Pervious concrete is a unique and effective material used to tackle important environmental problems, to maintain green, sustainable growth, and to reduce storm water runoff and pollutants. Clogging of pervious concrete is an important potential issue in

Mix Design for Pervious Recycled Aggregate Concrete [PDF]

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2012
Pervious concrete is a tailored-property concrete with high water permeability which allow the passage of water to flow through easily through the existing interconnected large pore structure. This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation into the development of pervious concrete with reduced cement content and recycled concrete ...
