Como um material genrico, tudo foram reconhecidos pela Agncia de Proteo do

Concreto de Pervious um zero-baixa, nenhum-
multas, material aberto-classificado que consiste
em cimento de Portland, agregado grosso,
admistes, e gua. A combinao destes materiais
produzir um produto que permitir gua para

esto na gama de 3000 a 4000 psi.

Drainage rate will vary with aggregate size and density of the mix, but will commonly fall into the
range of 12 to 18 gallons per minute, per SF.

entregado concreto de Pervious ao jobsite por convencional pronto-misture caminhes e colocou
dentro de formas de padro. Porque concreto de pervious mais grosso em consistncia que concreto
regular, uma arenga mecnica vibrando usada para nivelar isto fora. Vibrao seguida atravs de
consolidao com um rolo de ao pesado para atingir maior fora.
Porque concreto de pervious tem um baixo contedo de gua, enquanto curar especialmente crtico.
Depois de colocao, o concreto nublou com gua e ento cobriu com metal laminado de plstico e
umidade mantida durante pelo menos 7 dias permitirem hidratao cheia do cimento.
Pavimentando freqentemente tripulaes podem completar pervious trabalhos concretos mais rpido
que ao instalar concreto regular. Thats porque concreto de pervious no precisa ser trabalhado com uma
flutuao macha ou esptula, desde que estas operaes terminando podem marcar a superfcie de

Where Pervious Concrete is Being Used

While pervious concrete pavements may be new to some areas of the country, Florida and
other southeastern states have been installing them since the 1970s to control runoff,
erosion, and flooding. Florida has been a leader in the construction of pavements using
pervious concrete, according to the Florida Concrete & Products Association. Hundreds of
projects have been completed statewide, with many pavements in service for more than 10
years.

More recently, pervious concrete has been embraced by the West Coast for its
environmental benefits. For example, pervious concrete is helping communities in
California and Washington restore groundwater supplies and reduce pollution of coastal
waters, which can endanger fragile aquatic ecosystems and even swimmers. In a study
conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, contaminated runoff has
been linked with waterborne illnesses in surfers in urban areas.

In the Pacific Northwest, most of the annual precipitation comes from rainfall events of less
than an inch. A stormwater management system using pervious concrete can be very
effective at reducing total runoff and increasing the amount of filtered groundwater,
according to Glacier Northwest, the areas largest concrete supplier.

In California, pervious concrete is primarily being used to pave parking lots, says Youngs.
But he notes that its also becoming a practical alternative for subdivision streets, sidewalks,
and golf cart paths.

More homeowners are using pervious concrete as well, to eliminate puddling, prevent
erosion, and save the expense of tying into local storm sewer systems. Typical applications
include driveways, walkways, pool decks, and patios.

This pervious concrete driveway in Walnut Creek, Calif., saved the

homeowner $100,000 by eliminating the cost of connecting to the
county-owned storm sewer system.

Below are links to projects across the country that have used pervious concrete for purposes ranging
from controlling water runoff, to protecting sensitive fish habitats, to irrigating land.

City officials in Cerritos, Calif., overcame pollution runoff problems by paving a 10-acre overflow
lot for a huge auto mall with 90,000 square feet of pervious concrete. This is the second largest
pervious installation in the nation and the second lot in the state to use pervious concrete
