“…The pore structure could be affected by adding fibers into the scaffolds [ 54 ]. Kim et al previously produced a concrete with many large pores by incorporating twisted fibers because the fibers interfere with the distribution of aggregates and contribute to enlargement of the pores [ 55 ].…”

“…The incorporation of low-cost materials into pervious concrete for improving mechanical performance is also extended to natural or synthetic fibers, such as high-strength glass fibers [17,18], carbon fibers, cured carbon composite fibers, date palm leaf fibers [19], palm oil kernel shell fibers [20], cellulose fibers, natural kenaf fibers, steel fibers [18], coppercoated fibers, amorphous metallic fibers, hemp fibers, seashell fibers [20], polypropylene fibers [9], polyolefin fibers, polyester fibers, polyethylene fibers, ferro-green, green-net fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, polyvinyl chloride fibers, recycled rubber fibers, waste plastic fibers, Kevlar fibers, polyacrylonitrile fibers, waste cloth strip barchip fibers, basalt fibers, etc. [21] Steel and polypropylene fiber inclusion increases abrasion and permeability performance, respectively [9]. Also, fiber addition can improve the mechanical characteristics of RAPC [5].…”

Pervious concrete has great potential for use in many practical applications as a part of urban facilities that can add value through water harvesting and mitigating severe damage from floods. The construction and agricultural industries can take direct advantage of pervious concrete’s characteristics when water is a key factor included in projects as part of the useful life of a facility. Pervious concrete also has applications in vertical constructions, fountains, and pedestrian crossings. This work evidences that pervious concrete’s corrosion current increases with increasing aggregate size. Also, corrosion is a factor to consider only when steel pieces are immersed, aggravated by the presence of chlorine, but it drains water and does not retain moisture. Steel-reinforced pervious concrete was studied, and the grain size of the inert material and the corrosion process parameters were investigated. The electrochemical frequency modulation technique is proposed as a suitable test for a fast, reproducible assessment which, without damaging reinforced cement structures, particularly pervious concrete, indicates a trend of increasing corrosion current density as the size of the aggregate increases or density diminishes.

“…To achieve permeability, it is usual to use coarse aggregate with an open-grade structure and minimal or no fine aggregate [7], [8]. According to Li 2023 [9], the previous works have primarily focused on the compressive strength of pervious concrete and its correlation with permeability. However, in paving design, especially for permeable brick or slabs, it is equally important to consider tensile strength.…”

Urbanization has led to the damage of infrastructure due to floods and water accumulation on roads and sidewalks. To address this problem, pervious concrete was designed to drain water smoothly. However, pervious concrete has certain drawbacks, such as brittleness and poor tensile strength. To overcome these shortcomings, it is reinforced with fiber. Polypropylene fibers are commonly used for this purpose. On the other hand, managing waste plastic is a major problem as it has a significant environmental impact and requires large areas for landfills. Waste rope fibers (WRF) are among these wastes. There have been very limited investigations on the use of WRF in pervious concrete. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of polypropylene (PP) fibers and waste rope fibers (WRF) on the mechanical and structural properties of pervious concrete. PP and WRF fibers were added in proportions of 0.25%, 0.5%, and 0.75% by volume of concrete. A range of tests (compressive strength, tensile strength, density, permeability, load-deflection behavior, and ductility) were conducted to evaluate the resulting concrete. The results indicated that although the permeability was decreased by adding fibers, the fibers significantly improved the mechanical and structural properties of pervious concrete. The highest values for compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and ultimate load were 83.4%, 72.4%, and 89.62% for PP fibers-based mixtures, while they were 49.9%, 41.9%, and 102.83% for mixtures made with WRF at an addition rate of 0.5% for both types of fibers. The results also demonstrated that the existence of fibers improved the ductility of the concrete, which means that WRF can be used successfully in producing eco-friendly pervious concrete with better performance than the control specimen.
