Normal pervious concrete is a special type of concrete with high porosity, allowing water to percolate into the subgrade and using Portland cement. Pervious geopolymer concrete is also an environmentally friendly concrete using fly ash, blast furnace slag and kaolinite alkaline activator. However, all previous cement and geopolymer concretes are produced with normal sand and clean water. This study presents an experimental program on two types of concrete, viz. pervious cement concrete (PCC) and pervious geopolymer concrete (PGC), both made of sea sand and seawater. The compressive strength and hydraulic properties of those concretes have been investigated, showing that they have acceptable properties and a great potential to replace normal pervious concrete near coastal areas with low traffic density, viz., pavements, parking lots. It is possible to produce PCC and PGC made by sea sand and sea water achieving the compressive strength of cylinder samples greater than 17 MPa at a porosity of 24%.
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.
