A Project Proposal of Pervious Concrete

Vol.3, No.1D

Abstract

Road flooding is a perennial problem during the rainy season. This natural disaster affects a considerable amount of people in the Philippines. One of the major causes of floods is the clogging of drainage with debris. Installing permeable concrete is one of the most efficient solutions the government may consider since the method above is a special sort of concrete accustomed primarily for road pavement applications to minimize the probability of flooding by filtering trash and allowing water to go through it.  

The research design for this study used quantitative experimental research while utilizing a purposive sampling technique. The statistical treatments used for this study were frequency and percentage, weighted mean, and t-test to determine the difference between the two groups of respondents. The researchers use questionnaires as the research instrument to survey to identify the level of acceptability of the previous concrete in terms of materials, procedure and design, effectivity, and presentation. The study's respondents are 5 Civil Engineers and 5 STEM Teachers. The study results regarding construction materials, procedure, design, effectiveness, and presentation are highly acceptable. The overall weighted mean of the Civil Engineers was 4.3125, interpreted as Highly Acceptable and STEM Teachers had an overall weighted mean of 3.675, interpreted as Highly Acceptable. The t-computed was 5.27, and the t-critical was 2.77. It indicates no significant difference between the assessments of the two groups of respondents. For further project development, the respondents recommended that the researchers focus more on improving the product in terms of construction, procedure and design. Also, looking for high-quality ingredients and using a proper moulder and mixing tools would probably assist researchers in achieving their major objective of generating an effective and useful prototype.
