Abstract
No-Fine concrete pavements are use mostly in
rural area. This concept of pervious concrete is relatively
new for rural road pavement. Pervious concrete has ability
to flow water through it and this property help to recharge
the ground water. Pervious concrete pavement is unique and
effective technique to meet the future demand. Strength of
the pervious concrete is low as compared to conventional
concrete it is all due to high porosity. No-fines concrete is
mostly used in non-pavements applications, limited use in
pavements applications. This assignment purpose is to
assess the suitability for no-fines concrete to be used for the
construction of road pavement
