ABSTRACT
Pervious Concrete which is also known as No-fines Concrete is a mixture of cement
,water and a particular sized coarse aggregate combined to form a porous structural
material . Application of pervious concrete in pavements mainly focuses on storm water
control mostly in urban areas where scarcity of land is high. Permeable Pavement
allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass through it and therefore
reduces the runoff from a site which results in the recharge of ground water and
increase the level. This Pavement is made using coarse aggregates with no fine
aggregates. The main objective is to study about the applications of pervious concrete
and also develop a strong and durable Pervious cement concrete mix using the
materials RED MUD and CEMENT KILN DUST as addition. The properties such as
compressive strength, indirect tensile strength and flexural strength tests are performed
to determine the suitability.
Key words: Pervious Concrete, Additives, Compressive Strength, Indirect Tensile
Strength, Flexural strength.

1. INTRODUCTION
As urbanization increases in India and also in many parts of the world there is a problem of
water logging and there is a huge requirement of drainage facility. This is due to impervious
nature of the bituminous and concrete pavements in minor aspect. Pervious concrete which has
feasible open spaces helps significantly to provide high permeability due to its interconnected
