Nowadays, in Malaysia, there is flooding issue during heavy rainfall. This is caused by an increase in infrastructure and construction. So, the surface of the water that infiltrates into the earth is very limited. However, to overcome this situation, pervious concrete is the best alternative solution. Pervious concrete has been increasingly used to reduce the amount of runoff water to the drainage system and sidewalks. However, the mechanical properties of pervious concrete are lower in compressive strength and has limited usage of application. These investigations will be carried out to determine the strength of pervious concrete with different percentages of polypropylene fibers. In this study, a series of volume polypropylene fiber and SBX latex, which is fixed to 0, 0.5, and 1.0% will be used in pervious concrete. The result will indicate the effect of polypropylene fibers and inclusion of SBR latex as admixture and modify concrete properties for the strength development of pervious concrete. Polypropylene fiber existence incorporates with SBR latex effect in the permeability of pervious concrete. SBR latex also helping in strengthen the bonding of pervious specimens since it is high in tension. |
