In place densities on the order of 1600 kg/m? to 2000 kg/m? are common, which is in the upper range of lightweight concretes. Sees * It depends on the materials and placing operations.

Sele ca a) * Pervious concrete mixtures can develop compressive strengths in the range 3.5 MPa to 28 MPa, which is suitable for a wide range of applications. Typical values are about 17 MPa.* It generally ranges between about 1 MPa and 3.8 MPa * factors influence the flexural strength are * degree of compaction, * Porosity, * the aggregate: cement (A/C) ratio, «Drying shrinkage of pervious concrete develops sooner, but is much less than conventional concrete. (0.002, roughly half to that of conventional concrete mixtures) “Roughly 50% to 80% of shrinkage occurs in the first 10 days, compared to 20% to 30% in the same period for conventional concrete. *Because of this lower shrinkage and the surface texture, many pervious concretes are made without contro! joints and allowed to crack randomly.Freeze-thaw resistance: It depends on the saturation level of the voids in the concrete at the time of freezing. deterioration of concrete exposed to freeze-thaw 1) random cracking 2) surface scaling 3) joint deterioration due to cracking Snow-covered pervious ‘concrete clears quicker, possibly because its voids allow the snow ta thaw more quickly that it would on conventional pavements.Sulphate resistance: The open structure of pervious concrete makes it more susceptible to acid and sulphate attack over a larger area than in conventional concrete.Abrasion resistance: Because of the rougher surface texture and open structure of pervious concrete, abrasion and raveling of aggregate particles can be a problem. This is one reason why applications such as highways generally are not suitable for pervious concretes.Mix design and placement bale Slane Cee ace cg au babies adel | amo sabia SenorCementitious materials Narrowly graded aggregate {gravel/crushed stone) w/c ratio Cementitious materials/Aggregate ratio Fine aggregate ; coarse aggregate ratio Polypropylene fibres (optional when no fine aggregate is present) 270-415 1190 - 1480 0.25 - 0.34 (with chemical admixtures) 0.34 - 0.40 (without chemical admixtures) 1:0.21=0.25 Oto1:1 0.1% by volume or 0.9 kg/m?A pervious pavement mixture should be discharge completely within one hour after initial mixing.
