Abstract

Eco-friendly pervious concretes containing fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS) were prepared in this study. The compressive strength and hydraulic behaviors were investigated to explore the effect of replacement content of FA and BFS. Rheological tests of cementitious pastes were first conducted and the results showed that FA could increase the apparent viscosity and BFS did not change the rheology performance. Compared to traditional concretes, FA and BFS both decreased the compressive strength of pervious concrete at 28 d, while pervious concrete incorporated with FA and/or BFS presented comparable strength at 60 d. Compared to the control concrete mix, at the same replacement rate, FA changed the compressive strength more obviously than BFS. FA and BFS both decreased the effective porosity and permeability coefficient of pervious concrete. However, when the replacement rate (30%) was the same, concretes with ternary blends presented obviously larger porosity than binary blends. The relationships between porosity and permeability, and strength were also established.
