Optimizing Aggregate Gradation to Reduce Concrete’s Permeability

The objective of this study is two-fold. The first objective is to measure the influence of aggregate gradation on concrete’s permeability. The second is to optimize concrete mixture designs that meet strength, permeability, and workability criteria for construction.
