Advancements in Sustainable Permeable Concrete for Urban Pavements: A Comprehensive Review

Shubham Ahirwar, Harsh Rathore

Abstract


Urbanization has exacerbated flooding issues in many cities, necessitating innovative solutions to manage stormwater effectively. Permeable concrete, a sustainable urban pavement solution, has gained attention for its ability to mitigate flooding problems. This review paper examines the multifaceted aspects of developing sustainable permeable concrete for urban pavements. The review begins by discussing the growing flood problem in urban areas due to increased impervious surfaces. It then delves into materials selection and mix proportioning for pervious concrete, emphasizing the significance of proper aggregate gradation and cement content. The characteristics of pervious concrete, including its water permeability, strength, and durability, are explored in detail. Furthermore, the paper provides insights into pervious concrete pavement design considerations, highlighting the importance of structural integrity and stormwater management. Case studies and real-world performance assessments illustrate the effectiveness of permeable concrete in diverse urban settings. By addressing challenges such as clogging and maintenance requirements, the review offers a comprehensive understanding of this sustainable pavement technology. It concludes by emphasizing the potential of permeable concrete to alleviate urban flooding, outlining future research directions, and advocating for its integration into urban planning and development as a key component of resilient and sustainable cities.
