Development of Air Depurating

Permeable Concrete as an
Innovative Potential for
Construction Materials
NO 2

Introduction

In this modern era of industrialization, materials are being used and looked for to act as strong

foundation of houses, buildings, villas, condominiums, apartments, and even highway roads (Sullivan, 2006).

Materials such as steel, plastic, aluminum and concrete are being used to construct a firm cornerstone of these

buildings and roads. As cited by Karen Scrivener (2008) in the Concrete Conundrum, among the

aforementioned materials, concrete is the most widely used material in the world. The main reason why

concrete is immensely utilized on both individual and commercial buildings is that concrete roads and

buildings are more robust than the other common building materials .

Statement of the problem

A. What is the rating of the air – depurating permeable concrete and standard gravel mixture in the scale
of interpretation, in terms of the following:
a. Durability
b. Appearance
c. Permeability

B. Will there be a significant difference between the set – ups administered with titanium
dioxide and the standard gravel mixture, in terms of the following:
a. Durability
b. Appearance
c. Permeability
NO 4

Methodology

The test for determining the efficacy of air – depurating permeable concrete in terms of

its durability, appearance and permeability, was carried out through set – ups of the air –

depurating permeable concrete (SET – UP A) and the standard gravel mixture of the concrete

(SET – UP B). The researchers sought help from the Local Government Unit of Bayambang –

Engineering Department and Jumel Construction Corporation wherein the ratings of the

engineers in terms of the said characteristics and factors of the concrete were collected.

Results

The results that were obtained show that there is no significant difference
between the Air- Depurating Permeable concrete and the standard gravel mix in
terms of durability. This means that based on the rating obtained from the
respondent after the administration of the durability test, difference between the
two groups were not present. From the table of interpretation in the preceding
pages, the first set-up falls under the “strong” category, thus, this proves that in
terms of durability, the Air -Depurating Permeable Concrete is comparable to that
of the standard gravel mix.

Recommendation

drainage system should be 01

01 a molder should be used to
constructed under the air - improve the appearance
depurating permeable and procedure of the
concrete concrete

04

02

crushed stones should be

another layer should be added
to the aggregates and
subgrade of the concrete that
will act as a filter for the
concrete
used to be more effective in
