STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF CEMENT CONTENT ON THE PERMEABILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF RECYCLED PERMEABLE CONCRETE FROM CONSTRUCTION WASTE

ABSTRACT
Preparation of permeable concrete using recycled aggregates from construction waste, and analysis of the influence of cement content on the permeability characteristics of recycled permeable concrete is given. The results show that when the pH value of the sulfuric acid solution is fixed with the aggregate gradation, the permeability of concrete decreases linearly with the increase of cement content. The reason is that the increase of cement content leads to an increase in solid volume and a decrease in porosity; The permeability of the sample increases linearly with the increase of corrosion time, which is caused by the erosion of gypsum and other substances generated by sulfuric acid corrosion by water flow, resulting in enhanced pore connectivity.
