8. INTRODUCTION
NO-FINES concrete, also known as porous, pervious, permeable and cellular concrete,
has little or no fine aggregate and has just enough cementitious paste to coat the coarse
aggregate particles while preserving the interconnectivity of the voids. No-fines concrete has a
porous structure with relatively large interconnected voids that confers to it acoustic and thermal
insulation characteristics, water permeability, and economy in terms of material cost. In addition,
more than 50% of carbon dioxide emitted during cement production originates from calcinations
of limestone but this CO2 is reabsorbed during the life cycle of the cement-based products in the
carbonation process. In order to accelerate the process of CO2 uptake, low strength porous
concrete can be advantageous with respect to ordinary concrete. For this reason, no-fine concrete
has been proposed with the aim of enhancing CO2 uptake. Since no-fines concrete fulfils many
of the properties required to a sustainable building material they could be particularly useful not
only for road paving that is the actual most widespread application, but also for a wide range of
vertical applications which could probably require their use in form of panels, where a great
surface area is exposed to the atmosphere, high structural performance is not required, and
acoustic and/or thermal insulation characteristics are desired such as roof tiles, rendering mortars
and cladding or acoustic panels.

At present, one of the main limitations to broaden the potential applications of no-fines
concretes is the low durability, since through their porosity, water and the relative dissolved
aggressive substances can penetrate them and induce degradation processes. The durability
problem could be reduced by manufacturing no-fines concretes with a hydrophobizing
admixture.Which may reduce water uptake.Moreover, if reinforcements are introduced once that
the corrosion has initiated, the corrosion rate is expected to be related to the moisture content of
the thin layer of carbonated cement paste that covers the steel bar.
In addition, of particular interest to favour a sustainable development of no-fines concrete

is the use of recycled aggregate in replacement of those natural.
In this work, no-fines concretes with three different mixtures corresponding to low (~5-
10 MPa),medium(~15-20 MPa)and high(~25-30 MPa)compressive strengths were manufactured.

9. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Here present research involves the study of no fine concrete by using the polypropylene
fibers. The problem related to no fine concrete is that the bonding between aggregates is
relatively weak, it can be increased by using fibers. Also, compressive strength of blocks are
checked by testing cubes of standard size 15cm.
Now a days, the highway drainage is the critical issue which can be solved only by smart
work. No fine concrete is the better solution for highway drainage. But in case of no fine
concrete, there is a lack of bonding between aggregates hence concretes compressive strength is
marginally reduces and it will fail by crushing. In these project it is checked that whether the
bonding between aggregates improves or not by using polypropylene fibers.

(2014) The actual mix proportions for pervious concrete depend on the application, the
mechanical properties required and the materials used. In this paper, mix proportion of pervious
concrete was designed from locally available materials. This paper focused on modified method
of pervious concrete. A scaling factor has been defined to evenly distribute the cement paste
toward the size of gravel Moreover; a binder drainage test is proposed to determine the critical
w/c ratio towards to prevent the flow of cement paste to the lower layers of concrete under the
action of vibration or compaction. The pervious concrete has been formulated according to this
Sign Sign Page 7

method to validate it. The mechanical and hydraulic tests are performed to characterize the
pervious concrete. The mechanical strength of pervious concrete in this research is found higher
than that generally reported by other authors. The results indicate that the theoretical mix design
method is a successful theory for an optimizing composition of pervious concrete.
Anush K. Chandrappa, Krishna Prapoorna Biligiri (2016) pervious concrete (PC) mixtures
were designed and prepared to measure and study permeability characteristics at varying head
levels using a falling head permeameter. A total of 1092 readings was used to study the
permeability properties of eighteen PC mixtures whose porosity was in the range of 1537%,and
permeability in the realm of 0.0763.5 cm/s. The permeability reduced as the head of water
increased, and gradually attained an asymptotic relation with the head. Cement-to-aggregate ratio
had largest contribution in controlling permeability of PC mixtures. Nonlinearity in Darcys law
was observed in respect of permeability of PC mixes, which was modeled using Izbash/power
law, and was prominent for gradations consisting of larger sized aggregates due to
inconsequential tortuous pore structure. Modified Kozeny-Carman equation was fitted for PC
gradations to compare the results with Izbash law, which showed good agreement. This study is
deemed to assist in understanding the hydrodynamics of water flow in pervious concrete, which
in turn will aid in rational pervious concrete pavement system designs.
Alessandra Bonicelli, Filippo Giustozzi, Maurizio Crispino (2015) the present research aimed
at (1) evaluating the effect of differential levels of compaction energy and
(2) Analyzing the influence of fine sand addition into several pervious concrete mixtures.
Results suggested that adding small amounts of fine sand (around 5% of the total aggregate
weight) to pervious concrete mixtures provided better mechanical and surface properties, and a
consequent reduction of drain ability. However, the correct balance of mechanical and
hydrological properties can be achieved due to both accurate mix-design and proper compaction
plan.

No-fines concretes with compressive strength in the range 7-30 MPa at 28 days of curing were
optimized by changing the water-cement ratio from 0.41 to 0.34 and the aggregate-cement ratio
from 8 to 4. Some mixtures were also repeated with the addition of a hydrophobic admixture and
prepared by fully replacing the ordinary aggregate with recycled aggregate to evaluate durability

effects. High susceptibility to carbonation was observed for all the no-fines mixes studied. The
use of recycled aggregate increases capillary water absorption (about 50%); however, the related
decrease in durability could be easily counteracted with the use of a hydrophobic admixture.
K Satham Ushane, K J Pradeep Kumar and C Kavitha(2014) The market for building
block is growing at a rapid rate, especially in the areas where burnt bricks are not easily available
Or of poor quality. Unfortunately, rigorous scientific studies have not been made on the strength,
Durability and economy of concrete building blocks. Lightweight concretes can either be
lightweight aggregate concrete, foamed concrete or Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). Such
lightweight concrete blocks are often used in masons house construction, because of their less
density and self-weight, it helps for faster construction. 1:6 mix proportions gives more
compressive strength than the other two mix
proportions.

In this paper, an innovative model that can transport water percolated into the pavement has
been suggested in this direction. Different combinations of Cement, 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 0.45, Course aggregate of nominal
size 20 mm and with a cement to Course aggregate ratio of 1:4.
Its density and flexural strength were observed to be 21 kN/m3and 35 kg/cm2respectively.A

pavement slab suitable for low traffic volume roads is designed as per IRC SP62: 2004 which
allows storage of water upto 125 lit./m3of concrete pavement giving time for infiltration thereby
reducing the runoff and recharging the ground water or sufficient time for transport of it. 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. This
however needs further investigation and trials before practical implementation.
Hao Wu Zhuo Liu , Beibei Sun , Jian Yin (2016) Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate
the performance of Portland cement pervious concrete (PCPC) with a particular focus on freeze
thaw durability. The admixtures and modifiers such as airentraining agent (AEA), ethylene-vinyl
acetate (EVA) latex, and polypropylene (PP) fibers were considered in various mixtures to
Sign Sign Page 9

Date: - -2016
explore their influences on the performances of PCPC. In order to address the different behaviors
of PCPC produced in field and laboratory, field specimens cored from experimental pavement
sections were compared to the specimens molded in the laboratory, and appropriate
quantification indicators were proposed in the study for the comparison. The test results showed
that even with high porosities, a proper content of AEA added in the PCPC mixture could still
improve its strength and increase its freezethaw durability to some extent. The mixture with
latex modified could achieve much higher strength and better freezethaw durability due to the
enhancement of interfacial bonding on the cementitious matrix. Apparent improvements on
tensile strength and freezethaw durability were also observed for the mixture reinforced by PP
fibers with various nominal lengths. In addition, the analysis of the relationship between field
and laboratory produced PCPC showed that the pervious pavement paved in the actual field
usually presented inferior overall mechanical performances than the PCPC produced in the
laboratory, especially on the freezethaw durability. Therefore, a reduction coefficient should be
considered when design a PCPC pavement and predict its performance with the standard
laboratory methods that commonly used for ordinary concrete.
12. SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Concrete is the most important material for construction purposes and cement is the most
expensive ingredient in it. The name of no fines concrete itself explains that the fine aggregate
has been omitted in this kind of concrete. Due to the absence of fine aggregate in no fines
concrete, there is a high percentage of void space which results in high permeability. The unit
weight, drying shrinkage and hydrostatic pressure for no fines concrete is less compared to
conventional concrete. Due to the less cement content in no fines concrete, the cost of the overall
project reduces.In this project cubes of 150 mmxl50 mm x 150 mm size are caste with four
categories of SET A, SET B, SET C, SET D void ratios.The cubes are tested and their
Sign Sign Page 10

carry out a detailed analysis of the following sub systems for the prescribed conditions-
1. Cement: concrete mix by volume is taken as 1:2.7, 1:3.2, 1:3.9 and1:5.1.
2. Ordinary Portland cement of 43 grade
3. Void ratios are taken as 20%, 25%, 30% and 35%.
4. Water/cement ratios are limited to 0.25

1. Compressive strength test
2. Permeability test
13.1 Compressive strength :-

What is compressive strength-
Compressive strength is the most important property of the concrete to meet design
requirements of the structure. Compressive strength is the most common performance measured
by the engineers in designing of building and any other structures. The compressive strength is
measured by breaking cubical specimens in compressive testing machine. The compressive
strength is calculated by dividing the failure load by the cross sectional area resisting the load
and reported in units megapascal.
Why the compressive strength is determined-
Compressive strength results are primarily use to determine that delivered concrete is
meeting the required strength or not.
These results from cubes are use for quality control, acceptance of concrete or for
estimating compressive strength of concrete.

13.2 Permeability test :-

Permeability is defined as the property that governs the rate of flow of a fluid into a
porous solid. Permeability is also can be defined ability to resist weathering action, chemical
attack, abrasion, or any process of deterioration. The permeability occurs in hardened concrete in
two scenarios; firstly from the trapped air pockets from incomplete compaction and secondly
from the empty space due to loss of mixing water by evaporation.
Factors affecting permeability of concrete :-

1.W/c ratio :- The mixing water is indirectly responsible for permeability of the hydrated cement
paste because its content determines first the total space and subsequently the unfilled space after
the water is consumed by either cement hydration reactions or evaporation to the environment.
Concrete will not be vulnerable to water-related destructive phenomena if there is a little

or no evaporable water left after drying and provided that the subsequent exposure of the
concrete to the environment did not cause to re-saturation of the pores. The latter, to a large
extent, depends on the hydraulic conductivity, which is also known as coefficient of
permeability.
2. Curing: Moist- curing for the 7-day (minimum recommended in ACI 308, Standard Practice
for Curing Concrete), resulted in a much more impermeable concrete. The following graph
shows the relationship between permeability, w/c ratio, and initial moist-curing for 4x8-inch
cylindrical concrete specimens the relationship between w/c ratio, curing period, and
permeability would be similar.
Sign Sign Page 14

Date: - -2016
3. The use of Admixtures: Such as silica fume, latex emulsions, and high-range water reducers
allows placement of highly impermeable concrete. More information on the effects of these
admixtures, concrete mix design, and curing is needed so that low permeability concretes can be
uniformly specified and manufacture
4. Other Factors : There are few other factors that affect the permeability in concrete as the
improper compaction and loss of mixing water, age of the concrete, increasing concrete age
causes the permeability to reduce, this is because concrete is material that will continue to
hydrate over a long period of time as long as there is a presence of un-hydrated lime. So with the
presence of water, the hydration products will fill the empty spaces in the matrix. Another factor
that improves the permeability is the fineness of cement. Finer cement particles will hydrate
much faster; thus creating the impermeable concrete faster.

15.1 A proposed work research compels the study of factors related to

the concept of no fine concrete, compressive strength, void ratio
and permeability of concrete :-
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.No fine concrete
has greater permeability rate which will increase the infilteration rate and reduces the surface
runoff. Compressive strength of no fine concrete is limited upto 15 Mpa. The no fine concrete
concept is well described in following figure.
As shown in above figure, structural slab of pervious concrete is laid over which
precompressd floor insulation board is placed. The flooring slab is the topmost part of
the system.

15.2 The work further follows by experimentive clashing by casting of number of

cubes and cylinders by different mix proportions viz. A, B, C, D related to different
void ratios. :-
The mix design of pervious concrete is prepared as follows:
NRMCA Pervious concrete proportion:-
The following mixture proportioning approach can be used to quickly arrive at pervious concrete
mixture proportions that would help attain void content of freshly mixed pervious concrete when
measured in accordance with ASTM C1688 similar to the target value.
Determine the dry-rodded unit weight of the aggregate and calculate the void content.
Estimate the approximate percentage and volume of paste needed. The paste volume (PV) is then
estimated as follows:
Vp (%) = Aggregate Void Content (%) + CI (%) - Vvoid (%)
Where CI = compaction index and
Vvoid = design void content of the pervious concrete mix.
The value of CI can be varied based on the anticipated consolidation to be used in the field. For
greater consolidation effort a compaction index value of 1 to 2% may be more reasonable. For
lighter level of consolidation a value of 7 to 8% can be used. NRMCA used a value of 5% to get
similar values between measured fresh pervious concrete void content (ASTM C1688) and
design void content. Using a smaller value for CI (%) will reduce the paste volume.
Calculate the paste volume, Vp in m^3 per cubic meter of pervious concrete:
Vp, ft3 = Vp (%)
Select the w/c ratio for the paste. Recommended values are in the range of 0.25 to 0.36.
Calculate the absolute volume of cement
Vc = Vp/(1+(w/c*RDc))

Calculate the volume of SSD aggregate. Vagg

Where: Vvoid is the design void content for the pervious concrete mix.
Convert the volumes to weights of ingredients per cubic yard and for trial batches:

RDc = Specific gravity of cement
RDagg = Specific gravity of aggregates
