Abstract:

In spite of having low Compressive and flexural strength, No-fines concrete has properties capable of being used as rigid pavement for low traffic volume roads. Along with the mix proportions and water content to have sufficient bond between the aggregate particles, it is critical to determine what happens to the water once it penetrates the pavement surface. Different combinations of Cement,GGBS, water and Course aggregate with different maximum size and gradation were adopted for trial mixes to arrive at M20 grade concrete.M20 grade concrete is achieved with a w/c ratio of 0.36, Coarse aggregate of nominal size 20 mm passed and 10 mm retained ,cement is partly replaced with 30% of GGBS and with a cement to Course aggregate ratio of 1:4. Its compressive strength were observed to be 20.4 kN/m3.A perforated pipe can be provided at center of the pavement above sub-base such that it collects the water stored in concrete and drains it to the required treatment plant or a recharge pit.
