Definition

Pervious concrete: porous material composed of cement, aggregates and water (Wang et al. 2019). Additives: crumbs incorporated in concrete mix of the modified pervious concrete (Lori et al. 2019). Finite elements analysis: method for solving differential equations, which consists of discretizing the material into several small particles (Wang et al. 2020).

Introduction

The pervious concrete is a construction material composed of cement, aggregates, and water, according to Kovac and Sicakova (2018), which, because it has a network of pores in its internal structure, allows the drainage of fluids through its layer, facilitating the penetration of rainwater directly to the ground, which reduces flooding on urban roadways (Lori et al. 2019). The pore network of its internal structure, besides allowing the penetration of liquids, also allows the penetration of gases, which...
