Final Report -
February 2006

NRMCA's Northeast field promoter Phil
Kresge participated in a pervious concrete
seminar and demonstration at Cleveland State
University (CSU). Nearly 200 architects,
engineers and municipal officials attended
the demonstration/seminar that was sponsored
by the Ohio Ready Mixed Concrete
Association, the Northeast Ohio Concrete
Promotion Council and CSU. At the exhibit
table, Kresge distributed literature and
offered a first-hand look at a working model
of pervious concrete.
Following a
presentation by Don Wade of Magruder
Construction, attendees observed the
placement of a 50 ft x 12 ft pervious
concrete in-lay in one of CSU’s parking
lots. The concrete was supplied by
Collinwood Concrete and was placed by North
Coast Concrete Co. The placement will be
monitored by CSU to measure the effects of
de-icing and plowing. Additionally,
ground-penetrating radar will be used to
measure moisture levels within the concrete.
Ultra-sound may also be used to monitor the
concrete’s integrity.

Pervious Concrete Research - Joint
Effort of KRMCA and University of Kentucky Agriculture
College
Over the past few months, discussion between
KRMCA staff, the KRMCA Board of Directors and a research
professor and research specialist from the University of
Kentucky Agriculture College have led to some initial
research work on Pervious Concrete for agricultural
applications. . . .

This project just got underway in April 2005.
Pavement design
programs such as AASHTO, WinPAS, PCAPAV, ACI 325.9R,
and ACI 330R require split tensile or flexural
strength as design inputs. Design professionals such
as architects, engineers and state and municipal
officials might be more comfortable designing and
specifying pervious PCC if more information on
pervious PCC design inputs for common pavement
design programs were available. TCA and TTU are
currently working with both field and laboratory
fabricated specimens to determine relationships
between compressive, split tensile, and flexural
strengths for pervious PCC. |
