    Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete that allows water to drain through it. It consists of cement, coarse aggregate, and water with little to no fine aggregates. This creates voids that allow rainwater to pass through the concrete and into the soil below, reducing surface runoff. Pervious concrete can improve water quality by capturing rainwater and reducing flooding while allowing the natural water flow to recharge groundwater supplies. It is commonly used in low-traffic areas like parking lots and walkways. The project timeline involves casting and testing concrete cubes made with normal and pea gravel aggregates at 4- and 7-day curing periods.

    About Pervious concrete
     Pervious concrete is a mixture of cement, water, and coarse
    aggregate, and little to no sand. It also frequently contains chemical
    admixtures. Pervious concrete creates a very porous medium that
    allows water to drain to the underlying soils.

    By allowing rain events to penetrate the pavement to the underlying


    soils, the first flush of the paved surface is contained on site. The
    natural infiltration of the area remains unchanged so the water can
    recharge the water table. This avoids surface runoff that must be held
    in detention ponds or added to the storm water surface runoff, which
    must then be treated before it is returned to the local streams. In many
    cases the pavement may also be designed with a layer of coarse
    granular material below the pavement to increase the storage
    potential of the system. This has proven to be an effective tool to
    increase the area of usable pavement on a project as well as satisfy
    local water management regulations.
     Pervious concrete consists of cement, coarse aggregate and water with
    little to no fine aggregates. The addition of a small amount of sand will
    increase the strength. The mixture has a water-to-cement ratio of 0.28 to
    0.40 with a void content of 15 to 25 percent.
     The correct quantity of water in the concrete is critical. A low water to
    cement ratio will increase the strength of the concrete, but too little
    water may cause surface failure. A proper water content gives the
    mixture a wet-metallic appearance.
     Pervious concrete can improve water quality by capturing the “first flush”
    of surface runoff, reduce temperature rise in receiving waters, increase
    base flow, and reduce flooding potential. The pavement creates a short-
    term storage detention of rainfall. In order to fully utilize these benefits, the
    hydrological behavior of the pervious concrete system must be assessed.
    The hydrological performance is usually a key parameter in decisions to
    use this material as a best management practice (BMP) for storm water
    management and is the characteristic of most interest to permit-granting
    agencies.
     Pervious concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with
    light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways,
    and greenhouses. It is an important application
    for sustainable construction and is one of many low impact
    development techniques used by builders to protect water quality.
    Timeline
     Commencement of the project on 25th September 2019. Before heading to
    standard provisions we made some modification ( usage of ordinary
    aggregates ) to check out the feasibility of the specimen.
     Basically , with all provisions we made our very first specimens with normal
    aggregates and after cube casting we left the half of the specimens for 4
    days of curing and others for 7 days of curing.
     On 30th of September (Monday), we will perform the compressive strength
    and porosity test of 4 days cured specimen and on 3rd of October , the
    strength test of 7 days cured cube will be performed.
     Simultaneously , on 3rd October we will cast another batch of concrete cubes
    by using pea gravels this time. Every batch consists of 8 cubes , half of them
    will be cured for 4 days and other half will be for 7days .
