Abstract

Abstract: Concrete is widely used structural material consisting essentially of a binder and a mineral filler. Concrete has been the leading material since it was used and is bound to maintain its significant role in the upcoming future due to its durability, adaptability to any shape and size and many other applications. It is a composite material produced by mixing cement, inert matrix of sand and gravel or crushed stone. Pervious concrete is a type of concrete that has a low water-cement ratio and contains none or very little amount of sand. In the present paper the behavior of pervious concrete has been studied experimentally to reduce urban heat island effect and sustainable solution. Various specimens were prepared with Cement/Aggregate (C/A) ratio of 1:3 and 1:5 by adding super plasticizers (0.2% & 0.3%) and varying size of aggregates. The water-cement ratio was kept constant 0.30. Different properties of pervious concrete e.g. compressive strength, split tensile strength, rebound hammer test at 28 days and Infiltration rate test for C/A ratio of 1:3 and 1:5 have been studied experimentally. Experimental results showed that strength of pervious concrete decreased with the increase in C/A ratio and also the permeability is decreasing with the increase in strength i.e., with the decrease in C/A ratio.
