IntroductionPorous (pervious) concrete is a
special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and allowing groundwater recharge .
The high porosity is attained by a highly interconnected void content.

Contd.It is a mixture of Cement, Corse aggregate and
with or without sand (Fine aggregate) and has enough cementitious paste to coat the coarse aggregate while preserving the interconnectivity of the voids.
This concrete is being used as paving material to solve or reduce the storm water runoff to the drainage system and minimize water logging problems.

PropertiesDensity: In place densities on the order of 1600
kg/m³ to 2000 kg/m³.Void: Concrete with a high volume of voids
(20% to 35%)Permeability: Typical flow rates for water
through pervious concrete are 120 L /m2/min, or 0.2 cm/s to 320 L /m2/min, or 0.54 cm/s.
Compressive Strength: 3.5 MPa to 28 Mpa

Contd.Flexural Strength : 1 Mpa to 3.8 MpaShrinkage : Drying shrinkage of pervious
concrete develops sooner, but is much less than conventional concrete in order of 200 10-6 have been reported.
Freeze-Thaw : Entrained air in the paste dramatically improves freeze-thaw protection for pervious concrete.

Pervious Pavement-It’s a System.

ConclusionSaving in materials- As no-fines concrete
contains no sand and consequently requires considerably less cement per cubic yard of concrete, there is a direct saving in materials.
High thermal insulation value-Because of its nature, which allows the formation of large voids, it has better insulating characteristics than conventional concrete.
Environmental Benefits: Reduces storm water runoff

Contd.Eliminates need for detention ponds and other
costly storm water management practices.Replenishes water tables and aquifers.highways generally are not suitable for pervious
concretes. pervious concrete pavements allow snow to melt faster, requiring less plowing.
