TL;DR: Based on the equilibrium, continuity, and energy principles of multiphase porous media, a thermal-hydro-mechanical coupling model was developed for concrete upon freezing in this paper.
Abstract: Based on the equilibrium, continuity, and energy principles of multiphase porous media, a thermal-hydro-mechanical coupling model was developed for concrete upon freezing. To solve the governing differential equations, a three-dimensional finite-element analysis is performed based on the software program Comsol Multiphysics. Finally, temperature distributions, frozen water contents, and strains as a function of freezing time are predicted. A comparison of the analytical results with available experimental data for concrete mortars illustrates the validity of the proposed model. This numerical model can be used to assess the effect of cooling rate, the role of pore-size distribution, the role of permeability, the effect of cross section size and shape, the effect of superimposed stresses attributable to applied loads, and other factors that cannot easily be evaluated by current tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified mix design method based on Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion was put forward by introducing the aggregate content coefficient (ACC), which had little influence on porosity, pore area and fractal dimension of pervious concrete.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the distress survey were then used to calculate the pavement condition index (PCI) using the procedure from ASTM D6433, and the PCI rating was considered to be a quantification of structural performance.
Abstract: To expand the applications of pervious concrete, additional research and testing must be conducted as to its structural performance. Distress surveys were performed on two field installations of pervious concrete subjected to equivalent traffic stresses as some collector streets in use for 20 years. The results of the distress survey were then used to calculate the pavement condition index (PCI) using the procedure from ASTM D6433. The PCI rating was considered to be a quantification of structural performance. The high PCI ratings of the thicker pervious concrete sections indicated that pervious concrete, when properly designed, is capable of being used for most residential streets and many collector streets for typical design life durations (20–30 years) while exhibiting satisfactory structural performance.
