Analysis of Pervious Concrete with POFA Blended Cement and Waste Bottle Fibers as a Sustainable Construction Material

Abstract

Concrete containing coarse aggregate, cement paste and no fine aggregate called pervious concrete. A porous surface with high number of interconnected voids is useful to drain water. In which water is allowed to pass through the surface and allows storm and rain water to eventually absorb back in to the surrounding soils. In this generation of “Green buildings” pervious concrete may be a natural choice for application in natural aspect. On the other hand disposal of industrial

waste is one of the major problems in industries. Palm oil fuel ash is a local agriculture waste from palm oil industry and on the other a huge amount of waste bottles are producing every year all over the world and causing severe damage to the environment. There is heap of analysis work goes with in the field of permeable concrete. The study focuses on the two fold advantage of waste disposal and cost of construction by utilizing these waste materials. The aim of the present study was to access the performance of pervious concrete with POFA blended cement and Waste bottle fibers (WBF) as a sustainable construction material and comparing the results of Slump, compressive strength, for different cement aggregate Mix proportions of pervious concrete.
