@lichottotube They have tried pervious concrete in Chicago and it worked just fine despite of the freeze-thaw cycles. I am not an expert on the technology, but I have been to several Landscape Architecture Trade Shows and spoke with people in the City of Chicago who specify this stuff - they say it works. I bet you would have to speak with the manufacturer/supplier for details.
This is previous concrete! it does not absorb water. The concrete simply does not have small aggregate, so the water can pass through the larger aggregate. It also can retain the same amount of PSI rating needed, Its self healing, and can drop a temperature difference of 10-15 degrees because of its porous holes. This is also considered to be LEED certified for any LEED recommendations/credentials
Oh my goodness, that's amazing! If I had that kind of concrete at the bottom of my driveway, I wouldn't have to drive through swampland every time it rains! And although the video quality's not great, it seems to be much more attractive than ugly, black, oily, polluting asphalt.
I hope the water from they used is some form of grey-water... lol This is great engineering for storm water treatment. Using this also allows LEED certified Buildings to gain a valuable point if they use 50% Previous Concrete for the complexes parking lot. (green construction)
No. The water is not absorbed by the concrete. The concrete is porous which means that the water will move through the concrete and into the soil (the concrete is specially made so that water does not cling to the aggregate on top). Believe it or not this concrete cracks less than normal concrete. It also will never have black ice because water does not sit on top of it.
There should be layers of durable plastic lining above the dirt and and below the concrete and pipes. Perforated pipers in the concrete carry the water away. Good engineers account for all variables when designing things.
@GetNameError that doesn't matter... the ice build up would eventually fill all the holes and destroy the concrete. Any place that goes below freezing would not be able to use this.
It would seem that without the sand the concrete would be much weaker. But it is the aggregate in the mix that is supposed to give it its strength. ??? I really don't have any idea...
If designed properly I'm sure they could add in a collection or redirection method under the road. Problem is what about gasoline, oil, break fluid and other chemicals that would also be in the mix, due to accidents or other spills.
Would the fluids that drip from autos, i.e., motor oil, brake fluid, ATF, etc. get into the ground water? Do you have to vacuum the pavement periodically to keep the 'pores' open?
So this already exists? How about Pervious asphalt? It would solve the problems of icy roads as the water wouldn't have a chance to lay on the surface and freeze now that some states are using a salt brine solution sprayed on the surface. This sort of thing could solve a lot of roadway problems.
+Fred Post The issue is the salt and sand that we put on roads during freezing temperature greatly damages porous asphalt and also clogs it up making it less permeable.
***** I would like to add that just because people are wearing coats like that doesn't mean anything about the area they live in. People in Arizona can be seen wearing jackets and pants in 60 degree weather (which here is t-shirt and shorts weather).
I find it strange that we can know who shot the video and who put it on Yahoo! but we cannot find and honor the inventor. Figures! We have no chance to buy and experiment with the product, no chance to learn the materials and build our own.
The only problem I see with this idea is that when concrete is set in drastic weather changing states, the concrete won't last as long as in hot states.
Proof of concept that permeable concrete is an option to consider in areas that don't handle rain runoff very well. Probably not widely used due to needing more research, though.
1.I noticed that mistake a while back and just didn't care to change 2. How about, you know don't do it AT ALL, and if do it i'm sure 5 gallons or even a regular gallon jug would do not 1500 Gallons. I'm also pretty sure nobody cares about the porosity of CONCRETE, i'm pretty sure people looked because they noticed a lot of water being poured on the ground.
Stefhon Walker 5 gallons would be useless at proving the concept works. And most of the water used in this demonstration likely ended up back in the local groundwater anyway.
+Stefhon Walker Are you this confrontational irl too? Step back and look at what you are arguing about, a company showcasing it's new product, cement that can take in water, how the hell could they show that without actually doing it? And wasting water? Really? An average american uses about 600 gallons daily, so they used up 3 persons daily ration, big whoop? Literally any company using water in any stage of of their process uses more, this is not an issue my friend.
Jomil4 My bad, did a check on a more recent study and they changed it to around 400+ gallons of water per day and american. So yeah, a little mental, but not much.
That is awesome! I'm including it in our blog post "The Anatomy of a Stormwater Retention System."
Crazy!

when the guy holding the microphone asked for a soundbite from the water, the water replied, "glurgglurglelglurg*

The concrete is able to repair itself with the water. SCIENCE! Joe Rogan likes science.

Good thing a reporter from radio was there with a microphone.
"This is the sound of concrete absorbing water. Trust me."

OLIVE GARDEN!!!.......THAT'S SOME OF THE HANNAH MONTANA WATER!!
imagine how many lives would be saved with that water
And where does the water go? (Perforated Piping in the subgrade or just a giant sinkhole?)
There should be layers of durable plastic lining above the dirt and and below the concrete and pipes. Perforated pipers in the concrete carry the water away. Good engineers account for all variables when designing things.
i would like to see it tested on a busy road. friction and weight is a big enemy to roads.

Californians be like "stop wasting all that water!!!"
powerful, does this wash out beneath you know sink holes
If designed properly I'm sure they could add in a collection or redirection method under the road. Problem is what about gasoline, oil, break fluid and other chemicals that would also be in the mix, due to accidents or other spills.
@lichottotube
The air voids allows enough room for water to expand.
He and Duncan talked about this concrete on the latest podcast...
Would the fluids that drip from autos, i.e., motor oil, brake fluid, ATF, etc. get into the ground water? Do you have to vacuum the pavement periodically to keep the 'pores' open?
It's absorbing the water.. obviously.
The water is being absorbed by the concrete.. obviously. That is the point.
So this already exists? How about Pervious asphalt? It would solve the problems of icy roads as the water wouldn't have a chance to lay on the surface and freeze now that some states are using a salt brine solution sprayed on the surface. This sort of thing could solve a lot of roadway problems.
What happens when it freezes?
You don't use it in places where cold temperatures can cause it to freeze.
+Fred Post The issue is the salt and sand that we put on roads during freezing temperature greatly damages porous asphalt and also clogs it up making it less permeable.
***** I would like to add that just because people are wearing coats like that doesn't mean anything about the area they live in. People in Arizona can be seen wearing jackets and pants in 60 degree weather (which here is t-shirt and shorts weather).
+SykoTech Storm water would do the same thing over time because of sediments.
# Sq_One Is it in the rain or does the rain pick it up off the ground?
Water would slowly carry away the dirt beneath, how do you think sinkholes are created?
This would be so good in the Philippines when you have heavy rainfalls left and right.
I agree I also live in the PH.
I get that this is impressive and everything but did we really need to see three and a half minutes of it?
does it filter all the leaking of oil and radiator fluid from the cars also.
Cool, cool and then freezing
Amazing, I wonder how it wears?
But how would this affect the ground beneath the road? Would be good for bridges i guess.
So, Water, any words for our viewers?
No, it's not stupid. Pervious paving is an important advance in stormwater control, preventing flooding, and polluted runoff.
That looks like grass fed concrete. #DEATHSQUAD
Haha, I'm listening to the Duncan podcast now. He mentions this.
I want a roof made of that concrete.
I imagine a huge sinkhole forming underneath
POWERFUL!
So when the ground underneath washes away, what supports the concrete?
So......what happens when those pores get clogged?
so what does this do the the re-bar? or have they come up with a support framework that isn't iron based?
Bet new York wish they had built their city with this #deathsquad
That concrete must be on TRT
I find it strange that we can know who shot the video and who put it on Yahoo! but we cannot find and honor the inventor. Figures!
We have no chance to buy and experiment with the product, no chance to learn the materials and build our own.
This video could be about two minutes shorter and you'd still get the point.
The only problem I see with this idea is that when concrete is set in drastic weather changing states, the concrete won't last as long as in hot states.
did anyone ever answer you? i was just thinking the same thing.
This is fucking amazing.
powerful
This is going to have its limits and complications... Just like everything else in this world
Where is this technology available??
Can this be applied to a foundation for a house?
65,232 people have watched this? that's FUCKED UP SON!
#ulaştırmavealtyapı #tcbestepe #bakankaraismailoğlu #turkeypresidency
Olive garden buttonhole crash at float lab etc...I don't get why this video would be interesting to Joe did i miss something?
on kind of asphalt concrete named OGFC is like this kind of road
this is good for jakarta
betul banget mbak
WHY NOT?
How about erosion under the slab that create death holes at later time?
Now, to reclaim it.
UN PASO MAS AL FUTURO

Joe Rogan sent me.
they should have had this at the fukushima nuclear plant
@Nextil81
Don't worry, they'll have 200 more kids to replace them even though the parents can't even feed themselves.
this just made me really thirsty
@dasher1982 : A day later, it's 69,995.
glurp glurp!
I'm sure it cracks, you just can't tell because it cracks along the pebbles. lol
Wait until the sinkhole
What about the sinkholes effect?
If I remember from other videos correctly, it works similar to how a sewer drain functions. It runs the water somewhere else.
+SykoTech to the neighbors backyard ;]
@calvers7 Protip: Don't watch all three and a half minutes of it then.
Я, когда друзья просят пить.
Grass fed concrete
REDBAN HOSTS GLORY HOLES AT OLIVE GARDEN!!!!!
Did I just spend 3 minutes and 32 seconds watching water go onto concrete?
More like INTO concrete.
we use it on tennis courts
@sausagesnail I'm sure you've dealt with a lot of pervious concrete while studying for neuroscience.
That's cool, until winter comes, freezes water in the pours, and turns all that concrete into gravel.
That's what I said. Sinkhole waiting to happen. :P
I don't know shit about shit, but I don't think it would have enough pressure to wash away anything.
does it come in bed form? *ifyouknowwhatimean*

+Doug Worsley Can you really not figure out uses for this for yourself?
Broken link.
i mean ok we get it
stop wasting the damn water
Meanwhile in Africa...
none, because it's probably not potable
I bet it is a bitch when the water freezes in the concrete.
All the water wasted washing cars and watering grass... 1500 gallons this is nothing lol
Sarlaccs.
wikipedia*org/wiki/Pervious_concrete#Cold_climates
What a great way to waste water!
Yeah, sure, but are you going to fly the 1,500 gallons of water to Africa? Nope...lol
¿¿¿¿¿¿
That's a waist of about 600 to1000 gallons of water why noy use it for showers instead of showing off your concrete
1500 Gallons actually..
1.I noticed that mistake a while back and just didn't care to change
