This research formulates high-performance pervious concrete through systematic variation of aggregate gradation (G1-G5: 90-98% coarse), water-cement ratio (0.24-0.32) and polycarboxylate ether (PCE) superplasticizer (0.50-0.70%). OPC 53 Grade (IS 12269), 10mm crushed aggregate (IS 383:2016), M-sand Zone-II, potable water (IS 456, pH 7.86) and PCE (IS 9103, SG 1.10, solid 32%) were used. Twenty-five mixes M1-M25 (cement 320-400 kg/m3) were tested for density, void content ASTM C1688, permeability ASTM C1701, compressive strength IS 516:2021. G3 gradation (95% CA, 5% FA) with 400 kg/m3 cement, w/c 0.24, PCE 0.70% (M15) exhibited optimum: density 1812 kg/m3, void 24.5%, permeability 8.5 mm/s, 7-day 19.5 MPa, 28-day 28.6 MPa exceeding target 25 MPa. Results confirm gradation governs pore interconnectivity and strength.
KEYWORDS
1. Gradation significantly influences density, voids, permeability, strength – G3 optimum. 2. G3 (95% CA,5% FA) best among G1-G5 with balanced packing and interconnectivity. 3. w/c 0.24 + PCE 0.70% optimum workability and mechanical properties, slump retention 2hr. 4. Optimum M15: Density 1812 kg/m3, Void 24.5%, Permeability 8.5 mm/s (510 mm/min), f7 19.5 MPa, f28 28.6 MPa >25 MPa target. 5. All ACI 522R-10 criteria satisfied – suitable for parking, footpaths, low-volume roads. 6. Sustainable alternative promoting recharge, reducing urban flooding, supporting SDGs 6,11,13.
