Sumario:The relationship between percolation mechanism and pore characteristics for recycled permeable bricks with different porosities is investigated in this study based on X-ray computed tomography (X-CT). Permeability coefficients are measured and some characteristics including size, amount, and distribution of the pore are analysed. The results show that the effective porosity and permeability coefficient of the recycled permeable bricks exhibit a linear relationship first and then a quadratic curve relationship, where the critical effective porosity is 12%. Meanwhile, we discovered that nonlinear channels in permeable bricks are larger and fewer compared with linear percolation channels, regardless of whether the percolation stage is linear or nonlinear. Additionally, when the area and number ratios of the linear and nonlinear percolation channels reached 80% and 10%, respectively, the overall percolation state of the permeable bricks changed from linear to nonlinear percolation. This research is helpful to improve the mechanical and percolation properties of recycled concrete bricks and promote the application of porous permeable material.
