Pervious Concrete a Novel Eco-Friendly Material

Pervious concrete is a very special type of concrete with high porosity, Water Absorbing pavement is a new technique in Pavement construction. Through this technique we can find a solution for the low ground water level, effective management of storm water runoff, Agricultural problems, etc. Pervious concrete can be introduced in low traffic volume areas, walk ways, sub base for concrete pavements, inter locking material, garden residential , green house, basketball court , volleyball house etc. Pervious concrete as a paving material have the ability to allow water to flow through itself to recharge ground water level and minimize surface storm water runoff. This property of porous concrete reviews its applications and engineering properties, including environmental benefits, strength and durability. By replacing a part of cement with fly ash, then it results the safe disposal of waste material. Hence it acts as an eco-friendly paving material.
