Evaluation of Concrete Strength with Enhanced Permeability Using Polystyrene Beads

Pervious concrete, also known as permeable or porous concrete, is an innovative construction material designed to facilitate water drainage and reduce surface runoff. Unlike traditional concrete, which is dense and impervious, pervious concrete features a high void content, allowing water to flow through its surface and into the underlying soil. This unique property makes pervious concrete an effective solution for managing stormwater, reducing flooding risks, and improving groundwater recharge. It is commonly used in applications such as parking lots, sidewalks, driveways, and roadways, where it helps mitigate issues related to water accumulation and erosion. .
