Sustainable Pervious Concrete: Enhancing Urban Drainage With Black Marble Waste Aggregate
Keywords:
Black Marble Waste, Groundwater Recharge, Porous Pavement, Low-Impact DevelopmentAbstract
The rapid urbanization and expansion of infrastructure have led to compactly built environments,limiting natural rainwater percolation and contributing to groundwater depletion. Conventional concrete, characterized by its impermeable nature, exacerbates this issue by preventing water infiltration. Pervious concrete, a sustainable alternative, offers a solution by allowing water to pass through its interconnected voids, thereby promoting efficient drainage. The study explores the feasibility of utilizing black marble waste as a replacement for natural coarse aggregate in pervious concrete
