Installation and Maintenance Considerations for Improved Freeze-Thaw Durability of Pervious Concrete
Pervious concrete mixtures have good freeze-thaw durability in laboratory testing when properly designed. However, translation of laboratory designs to field applications introduces specific challenges and considerations which directly impact long-term durability. This paper includes a discussion of considerations important to good performance of pervious concrete. Certain considerations, such as construction site cleanliness and curing, are applicable to all pervious concretes, but are especially important in freeze-thaw climates. Other considerations, including deicing practices and plowing, are specific to cold regions. Topics will be illustrated using experiences from the mid-west United States, including the world's first pervious concrete overlay, which has been installed at the MnROAD facility in Minnesota since 2008. Since the freeze-thaw durability of pervious concrete is affected by both the mixture and the installation, a companion paper, Mixture Proportioning Considerations for Improved Freeze-Thaw Durability of Pervious Concrete, will provide a discussion of topics related specifically to the concrete mixture. The two papers provide a comprehensive discussion of pervious concrete for cold climates.
