Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate compressive strength of pervious concrete by reduction of fine aggregate from zero to 100%, additionally investigate infiltration rate of pervious concrete. Experimental study has conducted at Cecos Engineering University Peshawar. The pervious concrete samples were produced for 7 and 28 days. Compressive strength of pervious concrete indicated higher reduction of the sand reduces compressive strength and almost 50% compressive strength decreased by reduction of 100% sand from the design mix. On the other side, infiltration rate for 28 days shows direct relation above 40% reduction of sand and highest 273% of infiltration rate by reducing 100% sand from the design mix. The 90% reduction of sand from concrete give considerable compressive strength of 2150 psi and infiltration rate of 165.79 inch/hour, which can be recommended for pavements of parking and walking area.
Highlights
The socio-economic climate around the world has changed drastically in the past few decades
The highest infiltration of 273.11% increase by the reduction of 100% fine aggregate from the previous concrete mix
Lower compressive strength may limit the applications of the pervious concrete but since high permeability is core purpose in the development of pervious concrete
Summary
The socio-economic climate around the world has changed drastically in the past few decades. The drastic effect of the socio economic has witnessed more visibly in the world has reshaped in the form of high rise buildings infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, dams, tunnels etc. These infrastructures has massively consumed and still highly depends on the natural resources among gravel, stones and sand are the most common material [1]. A larger amount of rainwater ends up falling on impervious surfaces such as parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and streets rather than soaking into the soil. In the sustainable development and construction pervious concrete plays vital role due
