Abstract
Due to its composition, pervious concrete allows water to pass through its structure, helping to solve infiltration and surface runoff problems. Cement is one of its components and its production is highly contaminating because it emits between 8 to 9% of CO2 in addition to SOx and NOx. Hence, it is necessary to reduce the amount incorporated in the mixes. In this research, pervious concrete mixtures were made with 10 and 20% pozzolanic cement replaced by glass and ceramic wastes separately. Each mixture was evaluated for compressive strength at 7 and 28 days and permeability at 28 days. It was shown that the compressive strength of the mixtures with ceramic decreases as the replacement percentage increases, but, as the age of the test increases, the difference with respect to the control mixture is smaller. The mixes with glass show a decrease in compressive strength at 7 days, however, at 28 days they are similar to the control mix. The permeability of the mixtures of both wastes is adequate because it is between the ranges indicated in the literature and even close to the superior limit.
