Pervious Concrete for Sustainable Development

This paper mainly presents the study of preparation and application of green vegetation concrete, pervious concrete, and aquatic conservation concrete. The research includes material screening, mix proportion, operating points, construction process, and application scope. It has been observed that green and eco-friendly concrete can protect urban ecological system from departure of balance and contribute to realizing the sustainable development.

The increasing implementation of the sustainable development principles in the construction sector leads to the emergence of new concepts of urban planning and development of territories that harmoniously takes into account the environmental, social and economic indicators of construction projects. A typical modern urban area is characterized by a large area of low-permeable surfaces, which negatively affects the urban ecosystem, and at peak loads of rain runoff or flooding poses a significant threat to human health and life. Pervious concrete is a special high porosity concrete used for flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and recharging ground water levels. Pervious concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with light traffic, pedestrian walkways, and greenhouses and contributes to sustainable construction. The review examines the properties and most promising applications of pervious concretes, various aspects of technical regulation, and outlines the prospects for the development of work in these areas.
