Fal-G Binder Pervious Concrete

Pervious concrete can be described as a porous concrete which permits the penetration of water through the interconnected network of pores. In general, pervious concrete is produced using Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) as binder, and being used for pedestrian path, parking lots and has many other applications. In this paper Fly ash-Lime-Gypsum (FaL-G) binder has been used as a binder and studies have been carried out for physical, mechanical and other relevant properties with various sizes of coarse aggregates. The results are compared with the pervious concrete made out of OPC binder. The test results are presented and discussed elaborately. It is found that FaL-G binder pervious concrete satisfies the requirements laid down by codal provisions.
