Abstract

Conventional normal weight Portland cement concrete is generally used for pavement construction. The impervious nature of the concrete pavements contribute to the increased water runoff into the drainage system, over-burdening the infrastructure and causing excessive flooding in built-up areas. Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete with a high porosity, used for concrete pavement applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and allowing ground water recharge. In order to develop material specification for pervious concrete, it is necessary to conduct testing to evaluate the performance of this new type of high-performance concrete. Pervious concrete is sometimes referred to as “no-fines” concrete. In this study, the fine aggregate is used in various proportions such as 0%, 10% in the mix and the variation in the properties are studied. Properties such as density, void content, compressive strength, are studied for M20 grade by considering the w/c ratio as 0.34 and the design is done based on ACI 522 R10. From these studies, it is observed that the void content got decreased and the compressive strength got increased by the increase in fine aggregate percentage.
