Correlation among Properties of No Fines Concrete – A Review
Keywords:
Pervious concrete, no fines concrete, properties, density, strength, permeability, porosity, void ratio.Abstract
In the current century, the construction industries have shown an increasing interest in no fines (pervious
concrete), an environmentally friendly material. No fines concrete (pervious concrete is a composite material consisting
of course aggregate, cement, water and admixtures with the elimination of fine aggregate. Recently an emphasis has
been placed on the relationship between the strength, density, porosity and permeability. Researchers have been carrying
out investigations to characterize the relationship between the properties of no fines concrete. The objective of this paper
is to highlight the important relationship between the properties of no fines concrete. This overview presents the
correlation among the properties of no fines concrete including strength, permeability, porosity and void ratio. Based on
the results of previous research works on no fines concrete (pervious concrete), it was found that there is a correlation
between the properties of no fines concrete and by determining the correlation between the properties of no fines
concrete, it could possible to obtain proper no fines concrete used for various construction applications.
