STRENGTHENING OF PERVIOUS CONCRETE FOR HIGH LOAD ROAD APPLICATION; A REVIEW

Dr. R. R. Singh, Er. A. S. Sidhu

Abstract :

Pervious concrete has been increasingly used all over the world to reduce the amount of runoff water and improve the water quality near light volume pavements and parking lots, but its use in India is question of concern. However, due to the significantly reduced strength associated with the high porosity, pervious concrete mixtures currently cannot be used in highway pavement structures. This paper provides the review of improving the mechanical properties of pervious concrete through different factors i.e. using additives, using different type and size of aggregates, different w/c ratios; without considerable effect on permeability. This review paper aims at looking for a vision to introduce pervious concrete with optimum Mechanical properties for using in Highways as an alternative for storm water mitigation and increasing the ground water level.
