Abstract - Water absorbing pavement is a type of
innovative pavement technology designed to mitigate the negative impacts of urbanization on water resources. This technology allows pavements to absorb rainwater, reducing runoff and facilitating water infiltration into the ground. The water absorbing pavement has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its potential to reduce flooding and erosion, enhance water quality, and support sustainable urban development. This abstract provides a brief overview of the water absorbing pavement, highlighting its benefits, limitations, and applications. The abstract concludes by identifying future research directions and the need for collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to fully exploit the potential of this technology in promoting sustainable urbanization.
Addressing a pressing environmental issue: Urbanization and increased rainfall intensity have led to an increase in flooding, erosion, and water pollution. Water absorbing pavement offers a solution to these issues by reducing runoff and improving water quality, which can make a significant impact on the environment.
Advancing sustainability goals: Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in urban development, and water absorbing pavement aligns with sustainability goals by reducing environmental impact and promoting the efficient use of resources.
Enhancing public safety: Flooding and erosion can pose risks to public safety and property. Water absorbing pavement can help mitigate these risks by reducing the likelihood of flooding and erosion, which can improve the safety of roads and sidewalks.
Demonstrating innovation and leadership: Undertaking a water absorbing pavement project can showcase a commitment to innovation and leadership in urban development, which can enhance the reputation of the individuals or organizations involved.
Key Words: Water absorbing pavement, concrete pavement, compressive strength, permeable concrete, porous concrete.
1.INTRODUCTION Rainwater and runoff can pass through porous pavement to the storage layer below and eventually soak into the underlying soil thanks to this storm water drainage system. Because it may lower air temperatures on hot days, treat storm water quality, restore ground water supplies, and reduce storm water volume, permeable pavement is good for the environment.
Overall, the decision to choose a water absorbing pavement project may be driven by a desire to address environmental issues, promote sustainability, enhance public safety, or demonstrate leadership and innovation.
In order to create a mass of aggregate particles covered in a thin layer of paste, porous concrete is a performanceengineered concrete made with controlled proportions of cement, coarse aggregates, water, and admixtures. There is a significant amount of vacuum space in a pervious concrete mixture since it includes little or no sand. When enough paste is used to coat and bind the aggregate particles, a network of swiftly draining, highly porous gaps is formed. Low water/cementitious material (w/c) ratios are necessary for strength and to prevent the paste from flowing and filling the gaps. The production's performance depends on the w/c ratio.
1.2 OBJECTIVE To study water absorbing roads. To create workable model of water absorbing roads. To conduct appropriate tests on model of water absorbing roads. Interpret results with traditional roads. To prepare and submit proposal of the same.
