Abstract
The accumulation of municipal waste in landfills poses a significant global challenge, but incineration can alleviate it. Incineration drastically reduces the volume of solid waste in landfills and produces incinerated bottom ash as a by-product. Due to its chemical composition, this ash has found widespread application in concrete production. However, its porous nature makes it particularly suitable for use in pervious concrete. Despite its potential as a sustainable alternative to natural aggregates, issues related to strength have been reported. This chapter is dedicated to exploring the incorporation of incinerated bottom ash in pervious concrete, focusing on key findings regarding its utilization. The examination includes various parameters combined with incinerated bottom ash and how they influence pervious concrete's mechanical properties, porosity, and permeability alongside an environmental impact assessment. These insights aim to improve the integration of incinerated bottom ash in pervious concrete applications.
