The RMC Research & Education Foundation has announced the release of the revised version of its Pervious Concrete Research Compilation.
The new version includes information on pervious concrete research studies completed and underway since the original compilation was published in June 2006. It now also includes abstracts of study findings as well as links to study information on the Internet where applicable. The complication was updated by the original author, Dr. Heather J. Brown, with the Concrete Industry Management Program at
Originally, the foundation’s Board of Trustees commissioned the compilation to better understand the wide-range of pervious concrete research already in existence and to ensure they would not approve funding for duplicative research. “Given the important role of pervious concrete in the sustainable development movement and the foundation’s desire to fund projects that will improve the application, the trustees sought to have this compilation completed and later updated to obtain a better understanding of the breadth of existing knowledge on pervious concrete,” says RMC Research & Education Foundation Chairman George Gregory of Essroc Cement.
The revised pervious concrete research compilation can be downloaded from the foundation’s Web site at www.rmc-foundation.org.
