  Optimizing Aggregate Gradation for Enhancing Strength Properties of Pervious Concrete

  By Ushaa Eswaran, J. Saibaba

  Abstract: Pervious concrete possesses high permeability enabling environmental applications like stormwater recharging. However, lower strength limits widespread infrastructure adoption necessitating enhancements. This study focuses on optimizing aggregate proportions for improving compressive and flexural strength. Mixes were developed with cement variations from 200-500 kg/m3 with fine to coarse aggregates ratios systematically altered. Strengths were measured as per ASTM C39 and ASTM C78. Results showed reduced water-cement ratio and balanced aggregate blends improved …
