Pervious Concrete for the pavements proves to be an effective and along- term solution for the universalproblem of abnormal decrease of ground water table. Pervious Concrete has a unique mix design and givingspecial properties to the concrete which makes the concrete porous , allowing water from precipitation andother sources to pass directly through , there by reducing run off volume and increasing ground water table.Inorder to reduce the damage being caused to the environment by the use of cement , inpervious concrete ,cement is replaced with pozzolanic materials such as GGBS , silica fume sand to increase strength anddurability , glass fibers in stipulated ratio are added to the concrete mixture. In this study ,the mix designssuch as M30 and PC30 are considered . The fine aggregate is replaced with coarseaggregate by differentratios like 0% , 5% , 10% ,15%. by adding different pozzolanic matrals like GGBS, silicafume with glassfibers.To find the effectiveness of the use of pozzolancic and glassfibes, compressive strength conducted. Thefollowing Conclusions can be summarized by analyzing tests performed on PC specimens. A significantreduction of workability. And A progressive addition in compressive strength by increasing the percentage offine aggregates and pozzolanic materials in mix. The conclusion of fine aggregate content in the specimenincreases the density and increase the pozzolanic materials addition. And addition of silica fume and GGBSin the mixtures improve strength , compressive strength increases even after adding pozzolanic materials.Due to increase of fine aggregate content. For all replacement levels of PC with other mixes goes on decreasingin strength when compared with parent grade ofM30. While comparing with PC with Pozzolanic materials, For7 days there is a drastic change for same replacement, and for 28 days itshowssimilar trend for 25%pozzolanic concrete and goes on decreasing for strength for compressive strength. For all replacement levelsof PC with pozzolanic goes on decreasing in strength when compared with parent grade of M30. Compressivestrength slightly increased by adding glass fibers to the allmixes.
