This work presents a study of the physical and mechanical performance of tests on two different traces of porous concrete, popularly known as permeable concrete. Currently problems related to flooding in areas of excessive occupation of impermeable soil has worried experts in urban drainage, the use of the type of concrete used in this research facilitates the surface runoff helping in the acceleration of the permeability of water coming from rains that cause flooding and floods mainly in poorly planned urban areas. Cement and water were used for the preparation of the samples and in order to ensure a greater safety in the variation of tensile strength of the specimens, 10 samples were made in the last proposed test until a difference rate was reached minimum between the result of the compression analyzes thus making a material that resists to areas related to the traffic of people like sidewalks, catwalks and even bike paths.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
