Abstract: Material properties and mix proportions of permeable concrete have been reviewed.The methods of mathematical simulation and software modeling on researching compressive strength and pore structure of permeable concrete have been illustrated.The differences between permeable concrete and ordinary concrete about compressive strength calculation, size effect and stress-strain relationship have been compared and analyzed respectively.The two-dimension and three-dimension pore distribution of permeable concrete have been summarized, which provide a new idea to study pore structure of permeable concrete.In addition, great attention should be paid to researching microstructure of permeable concrete in the near future.

Key words: permeable concrete;mix proportion;pore structure;compressive strength
