Behavior of Pervious Concrete

Pervious concrete is being promoted to a greater extent due to this property, as it permits the entry of water into the surface and reduces the surface runoff on the surface. This property of pervious concrete makes it more useful in sustainable building processes. The mechanical properties of pervious concrete heavily depend on the mixture and the aggregate content. This article presents the results of an investigation carried out on pervious concrete of M25 grade and different percentages of sand content, i.e., 0%, 20%, 30%, and 50%. Literature and experimental study on the compressive strength characteristics of pervious concrete have been critically discussed and compared with respect to standard requirements pertaining to different M25 grades of concrete. Results of this investigation are highly useful in understanding different requirements and needs pertaining to pervious concrete mix.
