Characterization of porosities and optimization of mix design of pervious concrete using image analysis
Although pervious reduces surface runoff and replenishes groundwater resources, industrial applications are hindered by uncertainty in properties during mass productions. Most experimental studies correlated design parameters to performance parameters predominantly analysing porosity measured from water replacement method. This explains only a fraction of porosity and leads to inappropriate correlations between the influencing parameters. This study quantified porosity using a novel image analysis. 480 samples of pervious concrete were cast varying aggregate to cement ratio and compaction levels and performance parameters such as, wet-density, compressive strength, apparent, actual and effective porosities were assessed. The developed novel image analysis method facilitates accurate computation of porosity and actual, apparent and effective porosities was analysed quantified and optimised. An optimum A/C ratio was observed as 4.0 corresponding to 30 blows of compaction and a resultant actual porosity of approximately 0.2. Further the study establishes relationships between different types of porosities and their performance implications.
