Permeable Concrete
Abstract Permeable concrete is the concrete containing interconnected voids inside to allow air or water moving through it. The fundamental material characteristic of permeable concrete is its open pore structure (primarily the connected porosity and the larger pore sizes), which is caused by gap-graded coarse aggregates and little to minimal amounts of fine aggregates. Water is easy to percolate through paving matrix into the subsoil beneath when permeable concrete is utilized as paving material. Permeable concrete is beneficial for conserving storm water and recharging groundwater, thus can be used to absorb the noise of vehicles and adjust the temperature and humidity of the Earth’s surface.
