Conventional impervious pavements have dark surface and large thermal inertia. During
summertime they tend to absorb and store solar radiation but negate the evaporative …

In the last few years, the use of pervious concrete as a pavement material in low-volume
road applications has gained importance due to its positive environmental aspects. This …

Heat island phenomenon rises the temperature of cities, increases the energy demand for
cooling and deteriorates comfort conditions in the urban environment. To counterbalance …

The objective of this work is to examine the state of knowledge relevant to permeable
concrete pavements (PCPs) and facilitate efforts in enhancing their overall performance and …

The low impact development (LID) approach has been recommended as an alternative to
traditional stormwater design. Research on individual LID practices such as bioretention …

Pervious concrete needs to have many pores to achieve high water permeability, but
excessive porosity may cause a serious reduction in strength. Herein, it is postulated that the …

Permeable pavement, due to its high porosity and permeability, is considered as an
alternative to traditional impervious hard pavements for controlling stormwater in an …

Pervious concrete (PC) mixtures were designed and prepared to measure and study
permeability characteristics at varying head levels using a falling head permeameter. A total …

Pervious concrete is produced by adding less than enough paste to fill the voids in the
aggregate to form drainage channels inside the concrete. However, the volume of voids in …

Urbanization has replaced natural permeable surfaces with roofs, roads, and other sealed
surfaces, which convert rainfall into runoff that finally is carried away by the local sewage …
