Analysis of applicability of porous concrete containing recycled ceramic aggregates for communication pedestrian routes forming surface rainwater drainage
Journal Title: Challenges of Modern Technology - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
This work is a continuation of the authors' research conducted to develop innovative concrete mixtures containing recycled ceramic aggregates formed after crushing of waste ceramic sanitary elements. The article presents the problem of utilization of ceramic waste, there are listed factors of waste generating and the main characteristics of the waste material. Based on available literature, there are presented the results of research work on successfully using ceramic waste aggregates in the production of concrete composites. The main aim of this work was to design innovative concrete containing sanitary waste which would be permeable to water. The composite presented in the work showed total water permeability. The tested strength parameters allowed us to propose using it for the communication substrates carrying the load from pedestrian traffic. In this type of communication substrates the authors see a remedy for the problem of utilizing rainwater. Especially in urban areas where is no rain water sewer system this solution would have a legitimate benefit. Totally permeable communication routes could directly transfer water to the substrate under their surface which would effectively increase the chance of natural rainwater absorption.<br/><br/>
