Abstract. Pervious concrete has a high rate of permeability, low strength and high porosity. It is commonly used in the area of storm water management. However, its use has been limited to pavements with low volume traffic. Pervious concrete is different from normal concrete as the mixture contains no fine aggregates. The aggregate is usually of a single size bonded by a cement paste. This study focuses mainly on the effect of Engineered Biomass Aggregate (EBA) on the compressive strength and permeability of previous concrete. Three types of mixtures with 0% natural aggregate (NA), 5% BA and 5% of EBA have been studied in this research. A total of 27 150 mm cubes were casted in the laboratory for compressive strength and permeability test. This research aims to enhance the understanding of engineered biomass aggregate pervious concrete as well as the use of pervious concrete for sustainable construction activities due to the environmental benefits it offers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
