EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PERVIOUS CONCRETE TO IMPEL IT IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF PAKISTAN

Pakistan is facing adverse environmental issues peculiarly in major cities. The condition gets worst during monsoon period when the whole city faces urban flooding due to stagnation of storm water on all streets and areas. main reason lack infra-structure mitigate crisis which faced by country rainfall season. introduction Pervious Concrete pavement can easily limit problems sump rain water. As a part road infrastructure, upper layer be pervious, making runoff move sub-base. This paper offers exploratory research ascertain compressive strengths infiltration rate different samples Porous following American Institute guidelines. experiments were done with varying properties Concrete. effects considered are curing time, mix proportion, percentage quantity fine aggregate, ratio cement coarse aggregate size. design 1:4, 1:5 1:6. For further experiment rate, custom slab was formed dimensions 2’x1’x4” tested for desired ratios. purpose cost comparison, fixed size land kept as standard. compared construction land, using three materials: concrete, Traditional concrete Asphalt premix.It showed that cheaper than but also economical layer.
