Evaluation of High-Performance Pervious Concrete Mixed with Nano-Silica and Carbon Fiber by Mingxuan Sun, Meng Sun, Yunlong Zhang, Lijun Ma

“…Statistical models demonstrating prediction errors within 7% of experimental values were established, supplemented by a microstructural analysis of the concrete specimens. The results demonstrated that (1) the W/C ratio significantly influences overall performance; (2) NS enhances mechanical strength while reducing permeability, though excessive NS content induces weak interfacial zones that compromise strength; (3) CFs exhibit negligible impact on compressive strength but substantially improve flexural performance; and (4) significant synergistic interactions are present across W/C ratio, NS, and CFs concerning flexural strength parameters, while no significant interaction was observed for compressive strength.…”
