Abstract
This webinar summarizes activities related to the performance of pervious concrete in Eastern Washington and in Southern Brazil. The foci in Eastern Washington are on longer-term infiltration capabilities and surface evaluations, including over winter conditions and as related to the areas of associated run-on, most based on several field applications. The focus in Southern Brazil is with respect to soil clogging based on laboratory analyses on small slabs and cylinders. All the studies were then compiled to effect a non-destructive method to estimate slab porosity from initial surface infiltration rates.
