Abstract:
Pervious concrete’s perceived lack of durability when subjected to cycles of freezing and thawing initiated several research projects at Iowa State University. Since late 2004, several aspects of pervious concrete have been investigated to determine mixture proportions for cold-weather regions of the U.S. The results of these studies are summarized in this article.
