Abstract : Pervious concrete (PC) is a special type of concrete, which consists of cement, coarse aggregates, water and if required, admixtures and other cementitious materials. As there are no fine aggregates used in the concrete matrix, the void content is more which allows the water to flow through its body. So, the pervious concrete is also called as Permeable concrete and porous concrete. Numerous studies are being carried out in in connection with PC. Due to its voids and porosity, Compared to regular concrete, PC has a less compressive strength. Because of this, pervious concrete is not utilized very frequently, even though it has many advantages. Increases in pervious concrete's flexural and compressive strengths will enable it to be utilized in more applications. Pervious concrete is now primarily used on roadways with low traffic volumes. It can also be applied to inflexible pavements with medium and heavy traffic if the characteristics are improved. In addition, pervious concrete makes efficient use of the available land, stops the surface discharge of storm water, and aids in groundwater recharge. Our project's primary goal is to enhance pervious concrete's strength properties. However, it should be remembered that pervious concrete's permeability will decrease as its strength increases. Therefore, the permeability property should not be impacted by strength development because it is the characteristic that fulfils its function.
