A permeable pavement and cured fiber composition and a related method are provided. The permeable pavement composition includes a quantity of pavement material, and a quantity of cured carbon fiber composite material (CCFCM) configured to be added to the pavement material to produce a reinforced composition having improved characteristics. An example of pavement material includes a pervious concrete material. The method includes providing a quantity of pavement material and adding a quantity of cured carbon fiber composite material to the pavement material to produce a reinforced composition having improved characteristics.

A reinforced, permeable pavement composition, including a first quantity of a porous asphalt material, and a second quantity of cured carbon fiber composite material (CCFCM) particles, the CCFCM particles can have a particle size smaller than 3.35 mm and the composition can have a porosity between 15% and 35%.

Provided is the use of a silane composite emulsion as an anti-cracking enhancer in a cement-based material. In the present disclosure, active groups on an isobutyltriethoxysilane molecule react with hydroxyl groups on a surface of a mortar to form a layered hydrophobic structure, slowing down a water loss inside the mortar of a cement-based material. The dehydration of butyl acrylate forms a network structure, which fills pores of the cement-based material, inhibits shrinkage of the cement-based material, and reduces the cracking caused by the shrinkage. Tetraethoxysilane can undergo hydrolysis at a room temperature to generate nano-silica with a large number of hydroxyl groups on a surface; and the nano-silica can undergo secondary hydration with calcium hydroxide in the cement to form a secondary hydration product CSH gel, thereby filling most of voids to make a structure of the cement hydration product denser, to increase a strength of the mortar.
