Pervious Concrete Pavements: Design, Performance, and Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering)

Pervious Concrete Pavements: Design, Performance, and Applications provides both a comprehensive theoretical background and practical experiences on the performance of pervious concrete. The book explores the effects of various materials and process parameters on the mechanical, durability, and hydraulic properties of pervious concrete while also examining their hydrological design and water quality. The ability to upscale the use of pervious concrete in construction applications is investigated through field evaluation, lifecycle assessment, and performance prediction using artificial intelligence. The volume presents the latest findings in pervious concrete research, filling a gap in previous relevant publications.- Addresses both pervious concrete design and performance evaluation- Follows a theory-to-practice approach- Provides a one-stop-shop covering the mechanical, durability, and hydraulic aspects of pervious concrete made with a range of materials Read more
