Abstract

Pervious Concrete which is also known as No-fines Concrete is a mixture of cement, water and a particular sized coarse aggregate combined to form a porous structural material. Application of pervious concrete in pavements mainly focuses on storm water control mostly in urban areas where scarcity of land is high. Permeable Pavement allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass through it and therefore reduces the runoff from a site which results in the recharge of ground water and increase the level. This Pavement is made using coarse aggregates with no fine aggregates. The main objective of this investigation is to develop a strong and durable pervious cement concrete (PC) mix. In this study one size of aggregate is taken and mix is prepared, 28 days compressive strength is checked. In this study 4.75mm-6.3mm size aggregate is taken with water cement ratio 0.5-0.6.
