Abstract

This study develops durable pervious concrete (PC) for pavements by incorporating Graphene Oxide (GO), varying aggregate proportions, and using two cement-to-aggregate ratios (1:4 and 1:5). A comprehensive analysis was conducted on paste drain down, workability, hardened density, porosity, infiltration, compressive strength, freeze-thaw, ravelling, abrasion, fire resistance, and clogging potential. PC exhibited mass loss below 5% and compressive strength loss below 20% after freeze-thaw cycles, meeting ASTM C666 standards. The mix M1-0-GO showed a ravelling loss of 35% at 28 days, reduced to 24.1% with 0.1% GO at 56 days. Abrasion loss decreased by 76% with GO, while fire resistance improved as mass loss at 600°C dropped from 5.9% to 2.7%. At 0.1% GO, compressive strength reached 36.15 MPa at 120 days. Microstructural analysis confirmed enhanced C-S-H and C-H gel formation, improving durability. This study presents an economical (Index = 0.0054) and eco-friendly approach for GO-modified PC in pavement applications.
