PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Pervious Concrete Pavements: Design, Performance, and Applications provides both a comprehensive theoretical background and practical experiences on the performance of pervious concrete. The book explores the effects of various materials and process parameters on the mechanical, durability, and hydraulic properties of pervious concrete while also examining their hydrological design and water quality. The ability to upscale the use of pervious concrete in construction applications is investigated through field evaluation, lifecycle assessment, and performance prediction using artificial intelligence. The volume presents the latest findings in pervious concrete research, filling a gap in previous relevant publications.

About the Author

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 (Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, ASCE, ACI, Springer, MDPI, ASTM) 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.
