Abstract:

The present study aims to evaluate the properties of pervious concrete (PC) using pebbles as coarse aggregates (CA) and Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) as binder. Properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural tensile strength, coefficient of permeability, percentage of voids and dry density properties were examined and relationships between testing age vs. strength parameters and permeability parameters were drawn to evaluate the effect of pebbles aggregate in pervious concrete. Furthermore, durability studies such as salt resistance and sulphate resistance were also carried out to evaluate the chemical resistance property of PC. The results are compared with conventional control mix made of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) binder. The results indicated that using of pebbles as coarse aggregate shows sufficient strength, permeability and durability properties. The strength parameters and permeability parameters met the requirements and pervious concrete made with pebbles as a coarse aggregate can be used for sustainable pavement construction.
