Abstract:

Pervious concrete pavement block is a unique and effective means to address important environmental issues and support green, sustainable growth. Major portion of precipitation reaching into earth will drain out in addition to soil infiltration. Pervious concrete block is capable to capture the water and allowing it to seep into the ground. Almost all type of pavement block available in market is not permeable. If the slope is not sufficient or debris filled on pavement block joints, will causes water logging. So the necessity of pervious concrete block is important for sustainable development, also helps to accelerate ground water recharge. Now a day, demolished concrete waste is one of the non-degradable waste in the earth. Recycling has a number of benefits that have made it a more attractive option in this age of greater environmental awareness, more environmental laws, and the desire to keep construction cost down. Pervious concrete is different from conventional concrete which contains cement, coarse aggregate, and water as main constituents. The coarse aggregate is bonded with paste formed from cement and water leaving void spaces which allows water to infiltrate. Unlike conventional concrete pervious concrete has high permeability. The proposed pervious concrete block with recycled aggregate is eco-friendly, which can replace the conventional interlock brick.
