Designing and Specifying Pervious Concrete

At the end of this course, you will be able to: Identify the fundamental characteristics of pervious concrete.Describe how to design pervious concrete mixtures in the laboratory for sufficient porosity for stormwater infiltration.Compare and contrast the hydrologic and structural design requirements to reduce the environmental impact often associated with development.Communicate the important aspects of constructing a pervious concrete pavement to reduce stormwater runoff volume, rate, and pollutants..Describe how to maintain pervious concrete pavement so as not to weaken the concrete and endanger the public.
