Experimental Studies on Pervious Concrete

Permeable concrete is a special kind of concrete, consisting of cement, coarse aggregate, water, and ad-mixtures as required and other cementitious materials because no fine aggregates are used in the concrete matrix, voids are sufficient as to be permeable and body. Therefore, permeable concrete is also known as Permeable concrete and Porous concrete. There is a lot of research going on about the permeability of concrete. Compared to conventional concrete, the compressive strength is lower due to compression and voids. Thus, while permeable concrete has many advantages, its applications are limited. If the ductility of concrete has increased tensile and flexural strength, it can be used in many applications. Currently, the use of permeable concrete is mostly limited to short vehicular roads. If the property is improved, it could also be used for medium density high-traffic roads. At the same time, permeable concrete prevents surface runoff from stormwater, facilitates groundwater recharge, and makes the most efficient use of the available land Our project’s main objectives is to improve the strength properties of permeable concrete. However, it should be noted that an increase in strength results in a decrease in the permeability of concrete. Therefore, the strength enhancement should not affect the permeability property because that property is what serves its purpose.
