Pervious concrete is one of the most promising sustainable materials nowadays. Pervious concrete is a zeroslump, open graded material consisting of hydraulic cement, coarse aggregate, admixtures and water. Because perviousconcrete contains little or no fine aggregates such as sand, it is sometimes referred to as “no-fines” concrete. It is a specialtype of concrete having a high void content of about 30%, is becoming popular nowadays due to its potential to reduce therunoff to the drainage systems which can provide a water flow rate around 0.34 cm/second. Pervious concrete is the mixtureof cement, smaller size coarse aggregate, water and admixture. This paper illustrates the performance of pervious concretewith these sustainable materials replacing or partially replacing cement & aggregate. It is observed from the study thatcompressive strength and split tensile strength of pervious concrete is increasing by introducing bottom coal ash. The resultsindicates that the higher strength at higher percentage of admixtures.
