Concreto permeable como alternativa de recarga de acuíferos y drenaje urbano

Resumen

The use of pervious concrete is gradually being implemented in large cities to improve stormwater runoff management at the regional and local levels. By eliminating the need for sumps, weirs, and other stormwater devices, pervious concrete can reduce overall project costs at first cost and make more efficient use of the land. Pervious concrete has a significantly lower life cycle cost than other alternatives and saves money in the long run due to its durability, strength, and long life. Pervious concrete allows users to minimize sewer system use and avoid maintenance fees for rainwater harvesting systems. In the case of the present degree work, the areas of Santa Marta that are suitable for implementing permeable concretes were identified, in addition to which it was possible to determine the viability of their use. It was possible to differentiate by comparing the characteristics of pavements with conventional drainage and pavements with permeable concrete. This is due to the fact that it is finally expected to establish the applicable permeable concrete design in the city of Santa Marta.
