Flow field analysis of micro particles passing through pervious concrete

In recent decade, researchers have more attention to water resource protection and forward the concept of sponge city construction. PC is becoming more and more popular as a rainwater management tool because of fast climate changes worldwide. In this experiment, PC specimens were prepared with steel slag as aggregate, and the targeted porosity of specimens was 15%, 20%, and 25% respectively, and the ratio of water to cement was 0.38, 0.4, and 0.42. The PC specimens under the 200 mm high head are the most severely blocked; 0.283 m/s high-speed horizontal runoff appears after the rapid plugging stage later in the other two types of speed tests. With time, the plugging effect of the test specimen is almost the same; the clogging degree of the PC sample with the porosity of 25% is more obvious than that of other porosity test specimens. The PC with large porosity is more serious to clogging because the higher seepage velocity will enter the internal tunnel with higher penetration force, which increases the possibility of clogging. Tests have shown that, at different rainwater runoff head heights, the PC specimens under the 200 mm high head are the most severely blocked; 0.283 m/s high-speed horizontal runoff appears after the rapid plugging stage later in the other two types of speed tests but over time. With time, the plugging effect of the test specimen was almost the same; the clogging degree of the permeable concrete sample with the porosity of 25% is more obvious than that of other porosity test specimens. While it is noticed that the compressive strength of the PC after clogging has decreased in the freeze-thaw environment, the destruction process is faster than the unblocked test specimen.

Pervious concrete (PC) pavements can effectively reduce surface runoff, but it will be clogged with time and its service life will be affected. In this study, based on three groups of PC specimens with different aggregate gradations optimized by previous experiments, the pavement-clogging simulation test is carried out using the two-way coupling of the particle flow code with computational fluid dynamics (PFC-CFD). The results show that when the gradation of aggregates in the pervious pavement is different, the volume fraction of clogging material in the pavement and the time when the volume fraction of the clogging material reaches the maximum are also different. It is related to the zigzag degree and size of the pore in the pervious pavement. The smaller the particle size of coarse aggregate in the pervious pavement, the easier it is to be clogged, and the discontinuous graded coarse aggregate has a good shielding effect on the clogging material. Different clogging material gradations have different effects on the clogging of pervious pavements. According to the aforementioned research results, researchers can select different mix ratios of anti-clogging PC according to different areas of use. The law obtained from the experiment can provide a reference for further study of the double-layer pervious pavement structure design.
