Abstract Pervious concrete which is also known as the no-fines, porous, gap-graded, and permeable concrete and enhance porosity concrete has been found to be a reliable storm water management tool. By definition, pervious concrete is a mixture of gravel or granite stone, cement, water, little to no sand (fine aggregate) with or without admixtures. Pervious concrete is traditionally used in Parking areas, areas with high traffic, walk ways in parks and gardens, Residential streets, Pedestrian walkways and Green houses, Basketball and volley ball courts etc. In this study experimental investigation is carried out to study the properties of Pervious Concrete by partial replacing cement with different percentages of GGBS (0%, 20%, 40%, 50%, 60%, and 80%). To achieve optimum concrete mix various trial mixes are done by varying cement, coarse aggregate, water and super plasticizers. Once getting the optimum mix, six mix design are done by replacing cement with GGBS at 0%, 20%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80 %. The pervious concrete mix is produced by using conventional cementitious materials, aggregates, and water. This concrete is tested for its Fresh properties such as workability and Hardened Properties such as density, void ratio, compressive strength, and water permeability. The most important property of pervious concrete is its water permeability. Currently, there is no standard experimental procedure to determine to this property. A method was therefore developed to determine the water permeability.

I. INTRODUCTION A. General Conventional normal weight Portland cement concrete is generally used for pavement construction. The impervious nature of the concrete pavements contributes to the increased water runoff into the drainage system, over-burdening the infrastructure and causing excessive flooding in built-up areas. Pervious concrete has become significantly popular during recent decades, because of its potential contribution in solving environmental issues. Pervious concrete is a type of concrete with significantly high water permeability compared to normal weight concrete. It has been mainly developed for draining water from the ground surface, so that storm water runoff is reduced and the groundwater is recharged. Pervious concrete has been developed in the USA in order to meet US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) storm water regulation requirements. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Concrete Committee (C09) has focused on this concrete and formed a subcommittee to deal exclusively with pervious concrete production, properties and usage. European countries have developed pervious concrete, not only for water permeability but also for sound absorption. In Japan, pervious concrete has been researched for the usage in not only for road surfaces but also to support vegetation along river banks.
