Abstract-Pervious concrete made from uniform graded material consisting of Portland Pozzolana Cement aggregate, Admixtures and Water. Because pervious concrete contains no fine aggregates such as sand, it is sometimes referred to as “no fines” concrete. It is a special type of concrete having a high void content of about 30%, and is becoming popular nowadays due to its potential of reduce water runoff of the drainage systems which can provide a water flow around 0.34cm/second. In this project, detailed various literature has been under taken to fully understand the properties and applications of pervious concrete. An alternate has been made to develop a mix of pervious concrete and compare with that of the conventional concrete. The strength properties of hardened concrete include compressive strength of cube, split tensile strength of cylinder, flexural strength of prism, load deflection behaviour of beam for various mix proportions have been studied. Based on the results of the experimental study, some important conclusions have been drawn.
