Abstract
Pervious concrete is one of the most widely used materials by the concrete industry for providing storm water management, pollu-tion control, noise control and sustainable design. The increased awareness in pervious concrete is mainly due to the benefit of storm water management which leads in sustainable development. In artistic point of view, pervious concrete pavement does not appear or perform like conventional concrete pavement.The main aim of this project was to improve the compressive strength characteristics of pervious concrete. But it can be noted that with increase in compressive strength the void ratio decreases. Hence, the improvement of strength should not affect the porosity property because it is the property which serves its purpose.
