Pervious Concrete Pavements

Grab attention with a solution that transforms how cities handle water and mobility. Pervious Concrete Pavements by Hilal El-Hassan is an authoritative, practical guide for engineers, urban planners, contractors, and sustainability-focused municipalities seeking proven strategies for permeable pavement design and implementation.

Inside, El-Hassan distills theory into usable practice: fundamentals of pervious concrete mix design, installation techniques, performance metrics, and maintenance protocols that maximize infiltration and extend pavement life. Rich with case-driven insights, this book addresses common project challenges—drainage optimization, clogging prevention, freeze-thaw resilience, and load-bearing considerations—making it especially relevant for projects in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and other regions tackling stormwater management and green infrastructure goals.

Imagine reducing runoff, improving groundwater recharge, and meeting regulatory stormwater targets while delivering durable pavements that integrate with urban landscapes. Whether you’re retrofitting parking lots, designing residential streets, or planning large-scale public works, the practical checklists and design principles in this volume help translate sustainability ambitions into buildable, cost-effective outcomes.

Technically rigorous yet accessible, the book balances scientific clarity with on-the-ground applicability—ideal for specification writing, bid preparation, and performance evaluation. It’s a timely reference for anyone involved in permeable pavement projects and sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS).
