A Review Paper on Pervious Concrete

Pervious concrete pavement is sustainable type of concrete pavement that can protect and restore natural ecosystem. Pervious concrete is emerging as an alternative material for paving to help curtail non-point source pollution problem. It is one of the most effective pavement material to address a no. of important environmental issue, such as recharging groundwater and reducing storm water runoff. In this experimental investigation on properties of pervious concrete are reported and discussed. The amount of general Portland cement has been reduced by introducing fly ash as cementitious agent in pervious concrete sample. The properties of pervious concrete samples including density, porosity, compressive strength, etc. According to the result, high porosity samples indicated higher permeability, whereas compressive strength was reduced. There was no significant difference between properties of pervious concrete samples containing fly ash and those samples only comprises only cement as cementitious agents.
