Comparison between the falling head and the constant head permeability tests to assess the permeability coefficient of sustainable Pervious Concretes

The use of Pervious Concrete (PC) increased in the last years as an alternative to solve the run-off problem. PC shows a high percentage of empty spaces/gaps, which vary from 10 to 35%, facilitating the flow of rain and water through its structure. PC presents higher k permeability coefficient compa...
