Influence of silica fume, metakaolin & SBR latex on strength and durability performance of pervious concrete
Highlights Sand 5% and proper compaction significantly improved durability performance. SCMs have a positive influence on the mechanical and durability of pervious concrete. The optimum content of SCMs was 10% based on mechanical and durability performance. Latex improved the mechanical property, but did not noticeably improve the durability. The combined attack induced more severe surface deterioration and damages.
Abstract This study evaluates the performance of pervious concrete subjected to rapid freeze–thaw (F-T) cycling, calcium leaching and the combined attack of calcium leaching and F-T cycling. Silica fume, metakaolin and SBR polymer emulsion were incorporated at different levels into pervious concrete mixes to improve strength and durability performances. The results indicated that the addition of 5% fine sand and proper compaction had a positive influence on improving the resistance of pervious concrete to F-T cycling. The increase of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) from 5% to 10% significantly improved the resistance to rapid F-T cycling and to the combined attack of calcium leaching and F-T cycling. The optimum content of SCMs was 10% based on the mechanical and durability performance of pervious concrete with acceptable permeability. Calcium leaching in 6 M NH4NO3 solution combined with F-T cycling induced severe surface deterioration and internal damage compared to individual attacks of F-T cycling or leaching. Compared with control and polymer-modified mixes, pervious concrete incorporated SCMs possessed better resistance of calcium leaching and frost. The morphological changes caused by calcium leaching exhibits the decreased volume fraction of solid phases in a cement matrix and consequently increased the porosity, which ultimately degraded strength and durability performance of pervious concrete.
