Abstract:
Pervious concrete is a relatively new concept for
rural road pavement, with increase into the problems in rural
areas related to the low ground water level, agricultural
problem. Pervious concrete has introduced in rural road as a
road pavement material. Pervious concrete as a paving material
has seen renewed interest due to its ability to allow water to flow
through itself to recharge groundwater level and minimize
storm water runoff. This introduction to pervious concrete
pavements reviews its applications and engineering properties,
including environmental benefits, structural properties, and
durability. In rural area cost consideration is the primary factor
which must be kept in mind. So that in rural areas costly storm
water management practices is not applicable. Pervious concrete
pavement is unique and effective means to meet growing
environmental demands. By capturing rainwater and allowing it
to seep into the ground. This pavement technology creates more
efficient land use by eliminating the need for retention ponds,
swell, and other costly storm water management devices.
This paper discuss the art of pervious concrete; materials
and possible mix proportions, properties such as compressive
strength, permeability with initial tests done at college
