“…Polypropylene fibers, instead of mechanical improvement, can provide more safety for drivers, maintaining the pavement together in the case of failure and cracking. It can be observed that all combinations showed significantly improved mechanical properties, where, according to some authors' investigations [20], mixtures B, C, and E are suitable for mid-volume urban roads, while mixtures A and D are suitable for low-volume urban roads and parking lots. Finally, mixture F can perform well when used for bike paths.…”

“…Mixture AE-1 provided the best IT results, with 19.50% more capacity than mixture MS-4, and 26.07% more than the Control mixture. Despite these results, according to some authors [20], the evaluated mixtures can be adopted for pedestrian areas, squares, footpaths and parks. Only mixture AE-1 could be considered valid for use in bike paths.…”

Despite the number of environmental advantages that porous concrete (PC) pavements can provide, they are mainly used in light-traffic roads, parking lots and sidewalks due to their low mechanical strength. This research focuses on the common additives employed in PC pavements, according to a literature review, with the aim of increasing their mechanical strength while maintaining an acceptable infiltration capacity. The results demonstrated that the combination of superplasticizers and air-entraining additives can provide indirect tensile strength values over 2.50 MPa, with an infiltration capacity over 0.40 cm/s. In addition, polypropylene fibers were seen to provide very good safety properties, preserving some structural integrity in the case of failure. All mixtures studied obtained outstanding skid resistance results under both dry and wet conditions.

“…Finally, some mixtures had manually cement amounts added, varying their AV. Table 1 represents the main parameters reviewed and used for designing PC mixtures and Table 2 shows the parameters found in the literature reviewed for each component in PC [5,6,[8][9][10][11]26]. Three mixtures with the DCP and the ACI 522R-10 normative were made in order to compare both methodologies, employing the same w/c ratio (0.40) and three s/c ratios (0.00, 0.50 and 1.00).…”

“…The coarse aggregate gradation used for PC leads to a higher amount of air voids (AV), around 15-30%. Allowing infiltration [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The binder is made of a cementitious paste, integrated mainly by cement, water and, in some cases, fine aggregate (sand) [14,15].…”

Many cities around the world are handling many problems derived from urbanization, resulting in an uncontrolled growth of cities. Moreover, Climate Change effects are affecting all countries and specially cities. In this context, urban drainage and paving strategies demand a bigger economical investment to avoid a great impact in citizens quality of life, and in the environment. The main objective of this research is to contribute, in an innovative way, with the construction of concrete urban pavements by studying, quantifying and trying to join together a series of characteristics and benefits that are analyzed nowadays, but in a separately way. Trying to achieve an integrated pavement, with resilient properties (adapted to Climate Change) and more sustainable (economically, socially and environmentally).
