Abstract

Rural road infrastructure in northern Peru faces critical surface drainage problems that affect connectivity of agricultural areas and market access. Pervious concrete represents a sustainable alternative; however, its low mechanical resistance limits its application in rural rigid pavements. The objective was to determine the influence of high-strength drawn steel fibers (SIKA FIBER CHO 80/60 NB) on the properties of pervious concrete for rural road infrastructure. Aggregates from the «Arenera Jaén» quarry and Pacasmayo Ico Portland cement were used in two stages: base control mix selection and fiber addition at 25, 35 and 45 kg/m³. The control mix recorded f'c = 256.88 kg/cm², Mr = 37.81 kg/cm² and k = 0.31 cm/s. With 45 kg/m³ of fiber, increases of 21.73% in compressive strength, 36.93% in modulus of rupture and 13.73% in permeability were obtained. The incorporation of drawn steel fibers significantly improves the properties of pervious concrete, with its effect proportional to the applied dose.
