This study aims to evaluate the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of pervious concrete with the addition of fibers and the use of superplasticizing additive. Understanding that pervious concrete is a sustainable material that helps solve the problem of surface runoff in urban areas and the recharge of aquifers.
