Porous concrete (PC) pavements have gained a lot of attention in recent years because of the multiple advantages they offer to mitigate the climate change effect while giving comfort and safety to citizens. However, they are still not very often used because of the low strength they obtain due to the high air void amount they have for the infiltration of rainwater. The following research introduces a modified methodology of design, named PCD (Porous Concrete Design), based on ACI 522R-10 and ACI 211.3R-02 standards, with the purpose of increasing strength of PC surface layers. The study demonstrated an increase of about 30% in strength, with a decrease in infiltration capacity of about 40%. Nevertheless, permeability results are good enough to handle stormwater events.
