ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of a laboratory study to improve the durability of pervious
concrete using readily available and low cost techniques. Surface raveling of pervious concrete is
a concern for long term use and remediation techniques have not previously been investigated. In
this study a high void content pervious concrete was cured in worst case hot and dry conditions
to produce poor surface durability. Pervious concrete mixtures included a traditional binder and
one which included a super absorbent polymer for internal curing. Various remediation methods
including overlaying with fresh pervious concrete, latex paint, epoxy, and a surface densifier
were applied to the pavement before abrasion testing using the ASTM C944 rotary cutter
method. Results showed that the internally-cured mixture had superior durability to the
traditional mixture. Of the surface applied techniques, epoxy provided the best improvement in
durability followed by latex paint and the densifier. Material analysis showed that modifying a
mixture to include super absorbent polymer was the lowest cost option. On a poorly performing
pervious pavement, latex paint or a thin overlay both had low material costs. The summary
concludes that low-cost methods are effective techniques to improve the surface durability of
pervious concrete.

INTRODUCTION
Pervious concrete has become more popular in recent years primarily due to its environmental
benefits. When compared to traditional pavements, pervious concrete pavements provide
superior stormwater runoff control, reductions in potential for hydroplaning, and reduced glare
among other benefits (1). Until recently pervious concrete has been utilized only for parking
areas, primarily on private projects. Various state environmental departments and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been considering including roadways in required
stormwater management areas. The limited available space within typical roadway right of ways
does not accommodate many traditional stormwater best management practices (BMPs) such is
detention/retention areas. Pervious concrete shoulders are an attractive option for near-roadway
stormwater management because no additional land area is required. The current national interest
in pervious concrete shoulders has resulted in the first pervious concrete shoulders installed on a
50,000 average annual daily traffic (AADT) highway in St. Louis, MO, pervious concrete
shoulders under construction on several state-owned roads in Nevada, and a NCHRP project
investigation design options for permeable shoulders with stone reservoirs (25/25: Task 82).
Although much progress has been made towards turning pervious concrete into a widely
used pavement material, durability concerns are still present. One of the most prevalent
durability distresses presently encountered when using pervious concrete is raveling. Raveling is
surface abrasion caused by the separation of individual cement-coated aggregate pieces from
pavement surface (2, 3). Pervious concrete is characterized by minimal fine aggregate and a near
zero slump (1). The open structure of pervious concrete requires specific construction techniques
to ensure adequate permeability and strength performance. As with any concrete, proper curing
is the most important step towards achieving the optimum durability of the pavement. Previous
studies have shown that covering pervious concrete with plastic sheeting immediately after
placement for a minimum of 7 days, is the best means of ensuring proper curing and reducing
abrasion (4).
Many pervious concretes experience some raveling in the early weeks after removal of
curing plastic, especially around sawed joints (5). However, severe raveling typically results
from poor curing practices. The main causes for surface raveling are improper curing, low
strength mixtures from poor compaction, and heavy early loading (2). Figure 1 shows a pervious
concrete where poor workability resulted in a high void content of 40% and isolated locations of
excessive raveling when poorly cured. The opposing sections with good durability were cured
under plastic. The darker sections had poor durability and excessive raveling caused when the
fresh paste on the surface dried when not covered with plastic. The only solution presently
available when severe raveling occurs is to remove and reinstall the pervious concrete pavement.
Remediation options for less severe raveling include continued vacuuming over time to remove
loose particles. Removal and replacement or continuous vacuuming are undesirable from time,
financial, and sustainability perspectives.

PROJECT SIGNIFICANCE AND OBJECTIVE
When poor surface durability results in excessive raveling of pervious concrete the remediation
option is removal and replacement. The objective was to determine what the effect of pervious
concrete mixture, curing conditions, and surface applied remediation techniques provided the
best reduction in surface raveling. The pervious concrete mixtures investigated included a
conventional low water-to-cement mixture and one internally cured with a super absorbent
polymer. The curing conditions included optimum curing in lime water, curing under plastic, and
curing in a hot and dry environmental chamber. The surface-applied techniques included
densifier, epoxy, cement slurry, latex paint, and thin overlay. Results indicated that all techniques
provided significant improvement in surface raveling with the internally cured mixture having
the best raveling resistance.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Mixture Proportions
A typical pervious concrete design void content of 20%-25% produces acceptable strength and
surface durability; however impacts from long haul times, hot weather, slow placement from
difficult site geometry, improper compaction, or admixture ineffectiveness can cause the in-place
void content to be significantly higher than the design, as shown in Figure 1. For this study a
typical mixture was selected and cylinder samples were placed at three densities as shown in
Figure 2. All pervious concrete mixtures follow a linear compaction density relationship which
allows prediction of any in-place void content using the unit weight measurement (6). For this

study the highest void content (37%) was selected to ensure excessive raveling and the ability to
measure improvements to surface durability. The selected mixture would have unacceptable
performance related to raveling in the field and be subject to removal and replacement.
FIGURE 2 Compaction density relationship of the selected mixture
Mixture proportions for the two pervious concretes tested are shown in Table 1. One was
a typical pervious concrete control (PC) mixture and the second pervious concrete mixture (SAP)
contained a super absorbent polymer used for internal curing. The SAP consisted of crushed
crystalline partial sodium salts of cross-linked polypromancic acids rated at 2000 times
absorption in plain water. The selected SAP has previously been shown to improve the properties
of pervious concrete and reduce moisture loss (7). Additional water was added to satisfy SAP
absorption which raised the dosed water-to-cement ratio from 0.34 to 0.40. Void content was
maintained by reducing the overall cement paste content. Other admixtures included a vinsol
resin air entraining agent, a polycarboxylate water reducer, and a hydration stabilizing
admixture. The extra water present in the SAP mixture also allows a reduction in required
admixtures as shown in Table 1 for the water reducer and hydration stabilizer. The coarse
aggregate was ASTM C33 size 8 limestone (8) with a specific gravity of 2.59 and absorption of
1.8%. The fine aggregate was Missouri river sand conforming to ASTM C33 with specific
gravity of 2.62 and absorption of 0.4%. ASTM C150 cement marketed as Type I/II was utilized
(9).

TABLE 1 Mixture Proportions
Mixing and Testing Methods
Concrete was mixed according to ASTM C192 (10). Fresh concrete was preweighed for all
specimens before placing to ensure all samples had the same unit weight and voids. The high
void content of 37% did not require any compaction techniques and represented the loosest state
possible for the selected mixtures. Triplicate 100mm by 200 mm (4 in by 8in) cylinders were
cast for unit weight and void content testing determined according to ASTM C1754 (11). In
addition to the cylinders, both the PC and SAP mixtures were used to cast slab samples for
curing method investigation on abrasion. Fresh unit weight of the slab samples was also
controlled and the same as the cylinders. Slab samples had surface area of 750 cm2 (120 in
2) and
were 50mm (2 in.) thick. Samples were cured for 7 days 1) in a standard lime-water bath per
ASTM C192 (10), 2) under plastic sheeting commonly used for pervious concrete, and 3) cured
in a climate controlled cabinet at 38°C (100°F) and 32% relative humidity.
ASTM has a standard for potential raveling of pervious concrete ASTM C1747 (3). The
test abrades cast specimens in the LA abrasion apparatus and is suitable for comparing overall
durability between mixtures, but is not appropriate for measuring changes to surface-applied
materials. Rotary cutter surface abrasion was selected for its ability to physically measure
differences between surface treatments. Testing was performed according to ASTM C944 (12)
which uses a weighted rotary cutter to induce surface wear. Figure 3 shows the rotary cutter
device which is used to apply a 98N (22lbf) force during a 2 minute cycle. Pervious concrete
specimen weight was recorded before and after testing. A stiff-bristled broom and shop-type
vacuum were used to remove loose particles from the surface pores before weighing.

Surface Treatments Table 2 shows the curing regimes and surface treatments performed on the two mixtures. The
curing regime was selected to represent a worst-case scenario for pervious concrete placement in
addition to the high void content. All specimens for investigating the surface treatments were
first cured in an environmental cabinet at 38°C (100°F) and 32% relative humidity for 7 days
before surface treatments were applied.
Previous research has shown that the use of recycled latex paint in concrete mixtures
improves surface durability (13). Additionally, research has shown that the use of latex polymers
in pervious concrete improves the resistance to abrasion when compared to other pervious
concrete mixtures (14). The use of latex admixtures has also been recommended as a means of
improving freeze-thaw durability of pervious concrete (15). Research shows that the use of
colloidal silica as a densifier in concrete mixtures improves the strength of the concrete (16). In
order to test the beneficial use of densifier as a repair for raveling of pervious concrete, colloidal
silica was applied directly to the surface of a pervious concrete so that the silica reacted with the
calcium hydroxide present in the concrete to create additional calcium silicate hydroxide gel
(CSH). The additional CSH present in the concrete surface was expected to improve surface
durability. Previous research has shown that the use of epoxy in concrete mixtures can improve
the compressive strength and freeze-thaw durability of the concrete (17). Pervious concrete used
as an overlay on traditional, non-pervious pavements is known to reduce both the risk for
hydroplaning and noise pollution (18).
A high solids latex paint was applied at 7400 m2/m
3 (300 ft
2/gal.). The paint was thinned
with equal parts water before application to prevent clogging of the surface pores. Colloidal
silica densifier was applied at 9800 m2/m
3 (400 ft
2/gal.). The colloidal silica densifier had a
consistency similar to water and was applied at twice the dosage as recommended for a flat,
impervious application. A cementitious slurry was created using 1:3 Portland cement to latex
admixture ratio. The latex admixture is marketed as a mortar bonding agent and contains 7%
solids. The cement slurry was applied at a rate of 580 m2/m
3 (177 ft
2/ ft
3). The application rate
was selected by visually balancing a sufficient surface coating of the slurry while maintaining
surface voids. A low viscosity marine grade cycloaliphatic clear epoxy was used at 4900 m2/m
3
(200 ft2/gal.). The low epoxy viscosity allowed coating of the surface particles without reducing
surface porosity. After abrasion testing on a set of pervious concrete control samples cured in the
environmental cabinet (PC-C), the SAP mixture was applied as an overlay at a thickness of 12.5
mm (1/2 in.) directly on the abraded surface. The existing surface was cleaned and dried before

overlaying. The paint, densifier, and epoxy were allowed to cure at ambient conditions for 7 days
after application. The slurry and overlay samples were cured under plastic for 7 days.
TABLE 2 Mixtures and Surface Treatments
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Testing on hardened cylinders verified that both mixtures achieved an average of 37% voids at a
unit weight of 1600 kg/m3 (100 pcf). The only treatment that caused a noticeable visual decrease
in surface voids, and presumably permeability, was the cementitious slurry. All other treatments
only provided a thin coating to the surface particles. Figure 4 shows the visual results of abrasion
testing on the sample surfaces. On samples with higher mass loss values the abrasion resulted in
loss of entire aggregate particles and aggregate wearing. Figure 4a shows the control mixture
before testing and Figure 4b shows the control after testing where a high mass loss was observed
from aggregate raveling. Figure 4c shows the SAP mixture before testing; the picture is of fresh
concrete. Figure 4d shows the SAP mixture after testing where all of the mass loss was aggregate
wear. Figure 4e shows a latex paint sample after testing and Figure 4f shows an epoxy sample
after testing. The other treatments not shown in Figure 4 had no distinguishable visual difference
from the control before or after testing.
Results of the curing regime trials are shown in Table 3 and represent an average of six
trials. Previous studies using ASTM C944 to determine abrasion on pervious concrete have
produced similar variability (4). Surface abrasion testing on pervious concrete has a coefficient
of variation (COV) higher than observed for other tests such as compressive strength. Because of
the high variability, six tests were required for statistical analysis to show differences between
groups. Statistical significance was determined using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) with
α=0.05. In both mixtures the hot and dry conditions in the environmental cabinet produced
higher abrasion from surface raveling (PC-C, SAP-C). There was statistically no difference in
abrasion for either mixture between samples cured in the lime-water tank (PC, SAP) and those
cured under plastic for 7-days (PC-P, SAP-P). The SAP mixture had significantly less raveling
than the control mixture for all conditions, but similar standard deviation which resulted in SAP
samples having higher COV. Raveling of the control mixture increased by 110% when cured in
the environmental cabinet, however the SAP mixture only increased by 41%. The included SAP
has been previously shown to reduce moisture loss from pervious concrete specimens, providing
increased cement hydration and strength (7).

TABLE 3 Curing Regime Results
The abrasion results for the various surface treatments are shown in Figure 5 and
represent an average of six trials. The error bars represent one standard deviation. All surface
treatments provided a significant reduction in raveling when compared to the control samples
cured in the environmental cabinet (PC-C), which had the greatest mass loss. The epoxy coating
(PC-Epoxy), slurry (PC-Slurry), and thin overlay (PC-Over) had similar performance. The thin
overlay had similar performance to the full-depth specimen cured under plastic (SAP-P).
FIGURE 5 Abrasion Results
A full statistical comparison of results is shown in Table 4. Where two treatments
intersect an “O” represents no difference between groups and “X” shows a statistically
significant difference. There was no difference in durability for either mixture cured in lime
water or cured under plastic. Generally there were three levels of performance with no difference
between the high durability samples of SAP, SAP-P, PC-Slurry, PC-Epoxy, and PC-Over. The
moderate durability specimens of PC, PC-P, SAP-C, PC-Paint, and PC-Dense had statistically
less raveling than the cabinet-cured control, but more raveling than the higher durability samples.
All treatments had statistically less raveling than the control mixture cured in the environmental
cabinet.

TABLE 4 Statistical Comparison of Results
Remediation costs were determined for a 929 m2 (10,000 sf) pervious concrete parking
lot 150mm (6 inches) thick. Presented costs only represent material costs determined using
prevailing local material and admixture costs and do not incorporate labor for the repairs or
material delivery costs. The prevailing costs used for the concrete materials are shown in
TABLE 5. The materials only remediation costs are shown in TABLE 6. The pervious concrete
control mixture cost $60/m3 ($46/cy), while the SAP mixture cost $63/m
3 ($48/cy). The SAP
mixture line represents the cost difference between using the SAP mixture and the control
mixture for the project initially. The observed ease of remediation from least to most intensive
was: SAP mixture, densifier, paint, epoxy, SAP overlay, and slurry. If the control mixture was
changed to the SAP mixture no additional labor would be required. The paint and epoxy both
had low viscosity and flowed into the surface pores with relative ease. The slurry also had low
viscosity from the water-to-cement ratio of 3, but had to be carefully applied to prevent clogging
surface pores. Based only on material cost and durability, the thin SAP overlay was a superior
remediation technique, but would require significantly more labor than an option like paint or
densifier. The additional height created by an overlay may not be allowable at certain locations.
Those locations might necessitate milling the pavement before overlaying or option for a
surface-applied strategy. While pervious concrete has been successfully overlaid on conventional
concrete, the thin 12.5 mm (1/2 in.) overlay used in this study has not evaluated under traffic.
Epoxy was superior for surface-applied strategies, although latex paint provided a 51% reduction
in abrasion and had a lower cost.

TABLE 6 Remediation Costs
CONCLUSIONS
Surface raveling is the material related distress most common for pervious concrete. Loose
particles on the surface are unattractive, create a difficult walking surface, contribute to clogging,
cause further abrasion when driven over, and cause vehicle and windshield damage. Current
options for poor surface durability are continued vacuuming to remove the loose particles or
complete removal and replacement. This study investigated available low cost techniques to
reduce surface abrasion. Pervious concrete was created with high voids (37%) and was
subsequently cured in worst-case hot and dry conditions. Abrasion was measured before and
after applying treatments to the surface. From this study the following conclusions can be drawn:
The mixture containing the super absorbent polymer for internal curing had less abrasion
in all curing conditions than the control mixture.
No difference in abrasion resistance was observed between mixtures cured in a lime
water tank or cured under plastic for 7-days.
All remediation techniques tested resulted in improved surface durability.
Latex paint and epoxy were both effective at improving surface abrasion resistance.
The thin overlay had similar surface abrasion resistance to properly cured samples of the
same mixture.
Results from surface abrasion laboratory testing indicate that low-cost methods are
promising methods to improve the surface durability of pervious concrete.
