Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Pervious concrete, a highly porous concrete material, is widely used in places like roads, plazas, and parking lots. Its primary advantage is its ability to effectively promote rainwater infiltration, reduce urban waterlogging, and mitigate the urban heat island effect. However, the porosity of pervious concrete is a key factor affecting its permeability. Therefore, accurately measuring the porosity of pervious concrete is crucial to ensuring its performance.
[0003] Prior art methods for measuring the porosity of permeable concrete primarily include direct and indirect methods. Direct methods, which calculate porosity directly through weighing or volumetric measurement, offer the advantage of simplicity, but often suffer from inaccurate results due to factors such as uneven pore distribution. Indirect methods typically use methods such as permeability tests and CT scans to estimate porosity using relevant physical or image processing methods. While these methods can provide relatively accurate results, they are complex, costly, and require high equipment requirements, making them unsuitable for rapid on-site testing.
[0004] Therefore, the existing methods for detecting the porosity of permeable concrete have disadvantages such as low measurement accuracy, complex operation, high cost and unsuitability for on-site detection. There is an urgent need for a fast and non-destructive detection device and method to meet practical application needs. Utility Model Content

[0025] The method for using the device for detecting the porosity of permeable concrete of the utility model comprises the following steps:
[0026] Step 1: Weigh the measuring cup 10 in its initial state using the electronic scale 12 and record the initial weight;
[0027] Step 2: measuring the volume of the permeable concrete sample to be tested;
[0028] In some embodiments, the concrete sample is a solid sample with a regular geometric shape, and the sample volume can be measured directly based on the size of the geometric shape.
[0029] In some embodiments, the concrete sample is a small granular sample, and the sample volume is measured using a measuring cylinder, a measuring cup, or other tools.
[0030] In some embodiments, the concrete sample is an irregularly shaped sample, and the sample volume is indirectly calculated by measuring the sample mass and density.
[0031] Step 3: Process the permeable concrete sample to be tested to fully absorb water, then fill the permeable concrete sample into the measuring bucket 9 and distribute it evenly;
[0032] In some embodiments, the concrete sample to be tested is dried to remove moisture on the surface and inside of the sample, the dried concrete sample is completely immersed in water to fully absorb water, and then the concrete sample is filled into the measuring bucket 9.
[0033] Step 4: Place the measuring barrel 9 inside the measuring cup 10, and then place the measuring barrel 9 on the filter plate 1002. Adjust the position of the measuring barrel 9 so that the filter hole 901 at the bottom is aligned with the filter plate 1002.
[0034] Step 5: Place the measuring cup 10 directly below the support plate 4;
[0035] Step 6: Start the drive motor 5 and control the lifting and lowering of the threaded lifting rod 6 by the drive motor 5, so that the base plate 7 and the expansion plate 8 move vertically inside the measuring barrel 9, squeezing the concrete sample in the measuring barrel 9 so that the water inside the concrete sample overflows from the inside and outside of the measuring barrel 9 into the measuring cup 10;
[0036] Step 7: Start the vibration component 1003 in the measuring cup 10 to accelerate the drainage of the concrete sample through vibration;
[0037] Step 8: After the concrete sample is fully filtered, weigh the measuring cup 10 again, record the final weight, and calculate the porosity of the concrete sample based on the weight difference.
[0038] The calculation formula for porosity is:
[0039] Porosity = (final weight of measuring cup - initial weight of measuring cup) / (density of water * sample volume) * 100%.
