TOP MIX PERMEABLE PAVEMENT SYSTEM

Civil Engineering

The idea of Permeable Pavements is a modified form of our standard concrete, lacking the finer aggregates leading to the formation of voids allowing water flow. Permeable Pavements, therefore, permit seepage of water along with the characteristic mechanical properties of concrete, including compressive strength. Therefore, instead of run-off wastage, permeable pavements allow permeation of water. Therefore, this distinctive property of permeable concrete can be utilized for increasing the infiltration. For this study Kasak area of Bharuch city has been selected with the specific road network nearby to the Zadeshwar link joining Kasak road to Sheetal circle. The above road network has the history of the accumulation of water in the area during the monsoon season for long duration. To study the above objective the rainfall data for the area during the different day, month is collected. The volume data is the other important aspect for identifying the low volume road. The main aim of our project is to improve the strength characteristics of pervious concrete. But it can be noted that with that increase in strength the permeability of pervious concrete will be reduced. Hence, the improvement of strength should not affect the permeability property which serves is purpose.
