“…It was happened because the void inside fresh concrete mixture with a bigger density was filled by cement paste and aggregate. This result strengthened previous test results which were explained by Sonebi [22] and created a fine potency to use the fresh density as a reference to set the desired porous concrete void content on the field. c. Based on Figure 13 and Figure 14, there were strong correlation between fresh density and void content against compressive strength at the age of 28-days.…”

Abstract.Base layer with grained material tend to occur in saturated condition at the moment of rainfall or after rainfall. In that condition, the present of traffic might also create movement below the foundation layer and reduce its bearing capacity. Nevertheless, the foundation material that contain large fine creates base layer with low permeability and slow water movement. This paper presented the procedure and result of laboratory experimental study to obtain basic property criteria for rigid pavement base layer.The porous concrete mixture was successfully designed and surpassed the minimum requirements required by Directorate General of Highways [11] [12]. It was found that there was very strong correlation between void content and permeability which created fine likelihood to use void content to represent porous concrete permeability behavior. High void content with good connection resulting weaker aggregate interlocking inside the mixture so that permeability rose whereas compressive strength fell. Solid fresh density and more filled by cement paste created a smaller void that would reduce permeability and improve compressive strength. Strong correlation between fresh density towards void content and permeability opened potency to use the fresh density as a reference to set the desired porous concrete void content on the field.

“…Porous concrete is a type of concrete containing interconnected pores (usually air void content is from 5 to 25% by volume) with typical water permeability rate of ≥200 L/min/m 2 (Sonebi et al 2016;Kováč, Sičáková 2018;Tennis et al 2004). Maximum aggregate size of wearing layer porous concrete should be 8 mm or less (Kováč, Sičáková 2018;Hendrikx 1998).…”

In the context of increasing traffic demands and emerging mobility trends road infrastructure has to shift towards the fifth generation of roads, which according to Forever Open Road (FOR) vision are envisioned as adaptable to traffic volumes, resilient to changing weather conditions, quickly built, effectively maintained, suitable for retrofitting, self-monitoring, self-repairing and recyclable. Concrete modular pavements can be defined as an example of such type of road infrastructure. Functional needs are mainly associated with implementation area/location, traffic and mobility demands, environmental constraints and etc. This also has a significant impact on the selection of Precast Concrete Pavements (PCP) texture formation method and materials. Concrete pavement surface texture affects both safety and tyre/road noise characteristics. Exposed Aggregate Concrete (EAC) and porous concrete are the most suitable noise reducing solutions for highways and streets wearing layer even in severe traffic and climate conditions. According to the literature analysis, the algorithm of highways and streets low noise concrete design was created. It is recommended to use the highest quality aggregates with maximum size up to 8 mm, gap-graded gradation, higher amount of cement and lower water/cement ratio. The most important characteristics of EAC are Mean Profile Depth (MPD), Mean Texture Depth (MTD) and profile count, while the most important characteristics of porous concrete are compressive strength, outflow and air void content.

“…As it is known, pervious concrete allows water infiltration. This automatically will reduce the surface runoff and peak flows [6] and eventually improves water quality by reducing the number of pollutants and microbial degradation before the infiltrated water reaches the sub-surface layers [22]. Not to mention, groundwater would be able to be recharged and replenished as well [32].…”

The street curb and stormwater inlets are among the component often found on the road which serve as part of the urban stormwater drainage system. They act as a stormwater removal and discharge it into the underground drainage system. However, the current stormwater inlet practiced in Malaysia has limitations which often cause water ponding and consequently lead to road flooding. Rather than improving the performance of stormwater inlet, the flow interception and rate of stormwater removal may be enhanced by introducing a new technology called the pervious curb. It isto be made of pervious concrete which provide an ability to allow water to pass through it.This paper attempts to adapt the existingtwo pervious concrete mix design and applied it into the so-called pervious curb. Herein, a newly designed infiltration rate test was used to test the pervious concrete performance under the effect of infiltration through side surface of the concrete curb. While doing so, the infiltration rate of the pervious concrete will be investigated under varying slopes. Results showed that the infiltration rate is quite high and the rate of infiltration increases as the inclination gutter increases. Thus, it is proven that the new infiltration rate test is applicable and can be used for other similar applications. Furthermore, the test has significantly revealed that the pervious concrete has high potential in enhancing flow interception and able to reduce water ponding as a street curb.
