Abstract :

 Water logging is a major issue at parking and walkways, especially during rainy season, as pavements and floors are normally impermeable. This result in post construction activities like excessive repairs and providing unnecessary storm water drain systems, which are not only costly but may also get clogged during peak flow. Thus, it becomes very important to think of an economical solution which helps in getting rid of all above problems. The best solution to above problem is pervious concrete. Pervious Concrete is a special concrete used to allow water to intentionally pass through the surface of a pavement and allow storm water to eventually absorb back into the surrounding soils or evaporate. This study evaluates the factors affecting the strength and hydraulic parameters of pervious concrete, presents results of long–term infiltration monitoring and cleaning operations. The specific objectives of this study are to determine compressive strength of pervious concrete cube after 28 days curing; determine the infiltration ratio of pervious concrete slab. Determination of flexural strength of pervious concrete slab is also done.
