Abstract:
Pervious concrete also called porous concrete, permeable concrete or no fines concrete is a special type of concrete which is made using coarse aggregates with little or no fine aggregates for high porosity. Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete which allows water from precipitation and other sources to percolate directly through it, thereby reducing the runoff and allowing groundwater recharge. Pervious concrete has open pore structure and hence used in low loading parking areas, areas with light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways and greenhouses etc. It is an important application for sustainable construction to protect water resources. The aim of this project is to increase the mechanical properties of pervious concrete by the addition of Polypropylene fibers. In order to increase the permeability, aggregates of 16mmand 20mm sizes are used. Compression test, split tensile test, void ratio and permeability tests along with the basic tests were conducted for two different mixes of concrete i.e., i)Coarse aggregates, cement and water ii) Coarse aggregates, cement, water and Polypropylene fibers. Each mix of concrete was carried out for 16mm and 20mm sizes of coarse aggregates separately and tested for 7 days and 28 days of curing. A comparative study of the results obtained is also done in order to know the change in the mechanical properties of the pervious concrete for different mixes.
