The role of permeable products in the paving of urban environment in the light of sustainable use of resources

Abstract

Pervious concrete and different types of permeable products for paving are in the spotlight of the researchers from different areas: material engineering, urbanization, water management, sustainable development, renewable energy resources, etc. The paper presents the most important parameters related to production and application of pervious concrete, and the ways of using these products in various conditions. Additionally, mechanical properties of pervious concrete slabs produced with 30% of cement replaced with modified solidified waste water treated sludge are presented, as a possible way of sustainable usage of these products.
