I understand that clear benefits, but every time I see pervious concrete slabs, it is full of cracks and settlements. It seems to me that the same water that leaks through the aggregate also washes of the soil that supports the concrete, therefore settling it. And if it needs replacement in few years because of that, then it seems like it's more eco-friendly to built with regular non-pervious concrete. What do you guys think?
Settlement is usually a fault of the subgrade - base course. I think it all depends where you are willing to invest resources and what the objectives are for the project. Sometimes, pervious is a really expensive slab. Nothing more.
