“…Porous asphalt mixture (PAM), as a sustainable pavement material for cities, has been developed and applied to parking lots and light traffic pavement due to its potential for alleviating "urban syndrome". Compared with dense-gradation asphalt mixture (DGAM), the high porosity (18-25%) characteristics of PAM make it more competitive in reducing surface stormwater runoff, replenishing groundwater, mitigating the UHI effect, absorbing traffic noise, and improving wet-surface slip resistance [4][5][6]. Nevertheless, the poor cracking resistance and durability caused by its internal porous structure have become barriers against the wide application of PAM for seasonal frozen regions [4,5].…”

Therefore, how to improve the low-temperature cracking resistance and freeze-thaw (F-T) durability of PAM for seasonal frozen regions without significantly compromising its permeability has become a research hotspot in this field nowadays.…”

Porous asphalt mixtures with steel slag (PAM-SS), as an eco-friendly and low-cost pavement material, are conducive to addressing the issue of urban floods and natural resource shortages. The primary objective of this paper was to explore the feasibility of the application of PAM-SS for seasonal frozen regions, and ascertain the optimal replacement percentage of natural aggregate. Steel slag coarse aggregate (SSCA) was used to replace basalt coarse aggregate (BCA) at four levels (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) by equal volume. The volume characteristics, mechanical properties, low-temperature cracking resistance, water stability, and freeze-thaw (F-T) durability of the mixture were assessed. The results indicated that the low-temperature cracking resistance of the mixture was significantly enhanced and acoustic emission (AE) energy was uniformly released by the incorporation of steel slag. Furthermore, the porosity, permeability, Marshall stability (MS), and the resistance against water damage and F-T cycles were also significantly improved. Based on the experimental results, the complete replacement of natural aggregate is advisable to obtain an optimal overall performance.

“…Green concrete offers numerous environmental, technical and economic benefits such as high strength, increased durability, improved workability and pumpability, reduced permeability, controlled bleeding, superior resistance to acid attack, and the reduction of plastic shrinkage cracking [3]. Its impact on transportation systems and in the literature are now emerging, including related to how climate change affects explicitly pavement systems and what adaptation strategies might be pursued [4,5]. However, a traditional pavement on paved surfaces can help to reduce runoff by infiltrating any rainwater.…”

The benefit of pervious concrete lies in its ability to transport a large volume of water through its pores to the underlying strata, and it often serves as a pavement for vehicles and pedestrians. This research aimed to determine the properties of pervious concrete based on trials in the laboratory. The method used in this research was a laboratory experiment in accordance with the appropriate standards. The local material used in the mixture was a material composition with Portland Cement Composite with a water-cement (W/C) ratio 0.27 to 0.34, with aggregates of various types and sizes and fly ash and superplasticizer as the added ingredients. The mixture for the trial used 4.25 for the aggregatecement ratio (A/C) with a proportion of 6% for the fine aggregate (sand), 15% flay ash and a low dosage of superplastizer. The test results showed a slight difference in compressive strength and split tensile strength alongside variations in the W/C, including the use of different aggregate types and sizes. The permeability when using natural aggregate was more porous compared to the crushed stone. The effect of the aggregate size from small to large will result in decreased density (unit weight) and increased void in the mixture. Good agreement was reached in the 0.30 wcr mixture with an aggregate size that passed through a 12.5 mm sieve, that was retained at 9.5 mm and that provided suitable compressive strength.

It therefore becomes the focus of current research how to improve strength and durability of pervious concrete without sacrifice of permeability.Silica fume is the by-product waste of industrial silicon production with high content of SiO 2 , and has always been an excellent supplementary cementitious material [20].…”

Pervious concretes, such as sustainable pavement materials, have great advantages in solving urban flooding, promoting urban ecological balance, and alleviating urban heat island effect, due to its special porous structure. However, pervious concrete typically has high porosity and low strength. The insufficient strength and poor freeze-thaw durability are important factors that restrict its wide application, especially in seasonal frozen areas. Improving the strength and freeze-thaw resistance of pervious concrete will expand its application. Silica fumes, as an industrial by-product waste and supplementary cementitious material, play an important role in improving concrete performance. The objective of this paper was to study the effects of silica fumes on properties of sustainable pervious concrete. Silica fumes were used to replace cement with the equivalent volume method at different levels (3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%). The control pervious concrete and silica fume-modified pervious concrete mixtures were prepared in the lab. The porosity, permeability, compressive strength, flexural strength, and freeze-thaw resistance properties of all mixtures were tested. The results indicated that the addition of silica fumes significantly improved the strength and freeze-thaw resistance of pervious concrete. The porosity and permeability of all pervious concrete mixtures changed little with the content of silica fumes due to the adoption of the equal volume replacement method.
