Pervious concrete is a composite material consisting
of coarse aggregate, Portland cement, and water. It is different
from conventional concrete in that it contains no fine sin the
initial mixture, recognizing however, that fines are introduced
during the compaction process. The aggregate usually consists of
a single size and is bonded together at its points of contact by a
paste formed by the cement and water. The result is a concrete
with a high percentage of interconnected voids that, when
functioning correctly, permit the rapid percolation of water
through the concrete.

The test carried out at 7 days, 14 days and 28 days, the
comparison is made between the plain pervious concrete ,
pervious concrete with nylon fibre and polypropylene
fibre .
a. The compressive strength of nylon fibre and
polypropylene fibre mixed with pervious
concrete is increased as comparison to the plain
pervious concrete.
b. When we used the nylon fibre and polypropylene
fibre in pervious concrete in various proportion
0.1 %, 0.15%, 0.2% ,0.25% and 0.3% of volume
of concrete the result obtained by the
compressive strength of nylon fibre and
polypropylene fibre up-to 0.2 % of used result
get increased.
