Pervious concrete faces challenges in its practical applications owing to its lesser strength characteristics compared to conventional concrete. This study focuses on the evaluation of the performance enhancement of pervious concrete subjected to impact loading with the incorporation of carbon fibre reinforcement. Pervious concrete mix was designed with two distinct aggregate sizes, namely 12.5 mm and 20 mm, with a constant binder to aggregate ratio of 0.28 and water to binder ratio of 0.35. Cement and metakaolin constitute to 85% and 15% of the total binder, respectively. Discrete carbon fibre, accounting for 0.2% of the volume of the mix, was used to prepare the carbon fibre-reinforced pervious concrete. The crack resistance and energy absorption at service and ultimate conditions were determined. Also, the post-crack behaviour of the mix was determined using impact residual strength ratio. The outcome of the study indicated that the post-crack behaviour of the pervious mix was improved considerably with the incorporation of carbon fibre in the 12.5 mm aggregate-sized mix.

摘要

Pervious concrete faces challenges in its practical applications owing to its lesser strength characteristics compared to conventional concrete. This study focuses on the evaluation of the performance enhancement of pervious concrete subjected to impact loading with the incorporation of carbon fibre reinforcement. Pervious concrete mix was designed with two distinct aggregate sizes, namely 12.5 mm and 20 mm, with a constant binder to aggregate ratio of 0.28 and water to binder ratio of 0.35. Cement and metakaolin constitute to 85% and 15% of the total binder, respectively. Discrete carbon fibre, accounting for 0.2% of the volume of the mix, was used to prepare the carbon fibre-reinforced pervious concrete. The crack resistance and energy absorption at service and ultimate conditions were determined. Also, the post-crack behaviour of the mix was determined using impact residual strength ratio. The outcome of the study indicated that the post-crack behaviour of the pervious mix was improved considerably with the incorporation of carbon fibre in the 12.5 mm aggregate-sized mix.
