Mixing design for fiberglass permeable concrete Angie Beltran

The investigation exposed in the present document, is directed to find and to demonstrate a suitable dosage to implement it in a permeable concrete, which will be added with fiber glass, in three percentages where it will be verified which will provide the greater resistance, according to the Colombian norm. The effects that can be generated by the water/cement ratio, coarse aggregate/cement ratio, type of coarse aggregate used (origin and maximum size), admissible compaction (without affecting the minimum content in the volume of voids) and finally the implementation of fiberglass as an addition will be analyzed, varying its amount among different percentages in 10 mixtures of permeable concrete. The results obtained will allow observing behavior trends between the different properties of this concrete and its resistance to compression.
