Considerable research has been conducted on environmentally sustainable development. This has leads to the use of pervious concrete in place of conventional concrete. Pervious concrete has been used as an effective method for handling and reducing negative environmental impacts. The voids are creates in the concrete for passing the water from concrete, also reducing the problem of water logging and make a road surface skid resistance. There is a analyzing the properties and characteristics of pervious concrete. The performance of pervious concrete was compared with the material used for the construction of concrete road pavements. The analysis was undertaken by comparing the characteristics of the pervious and normal concrete. The tests were conducted to determine the properties of concrete like compression strength, flexural strength and also permeability of concrete. It was found that pervious concrete pavements possesses some positive features like increased skid resistance and high permeability but most importantly it requires the high strength for highly trafficked areas. Pervious concrete has proven to have properties suitable for use in low volume traffic areas. If pervious concrete pavements can be implemented, it will have various positive effects on the environment.
