Summary

Pervious concrete is a unique material that allows water to pass directly through its structure to the sub-base below. This characteristic makes it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional concrete, as it helps to reduce stormwater runoff, recharge groundwater, and mitigate the urban heat island effect.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of pervious concrete pavements, covering their design, performance, and various applications. It delves into the fundamental p…

About The Author

Hilal El-Hassan

Hilal El-Hassan received his Doctorate degree in 2013 from McGill University. He is the author of over 60 research articles in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. He has published 3 book chapters in the area of concrete technology. He has been invited as a Guest Editor for three Special Issues in Sustainability (MDPI) and Frontiers in Environmental Science. His research focuses on evaluating the performance and microstructure of different construction materials, including pervious concrete, geopolymer composites, self-healing concrete, 3D-printed concrete, fiber-reinforced composites, recycled aggregates, and carbonation-cured concrete, among others. He is also a reviewer for various international scientific journals and an active member of ACI committees 201 and 236 and ACI Faculty Network.

Dr. Hamouda received his Ph.D. degree in civil and environmental engineering from University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, in 2011. He runs the virtual Integrated Water Cycle Research Lab (IWCRL), which focuses on research at the intersection between the water cycle and the anthroposphere. Research at IWCRL stems from the need to use advancements in data analysis, modelling and simulation, and analytical methods to investigate and develop sustainable solutions for water and environmental issues. Dr. Hamouda has published 40 peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed journal and conference papers. Dr. Hamouda was the recipient of 4 best-presented paper awards at international and regional conferences. He is a member of Professional Engineers Ontario, Canada; The International Water Association, UK; The American Water Works Association; The Egyptian Syndicate of Engineers, Egypt; and the European Geosciences Union, Germany.
