Abstract :
No- fines concrete is a type of concrete from which the aggregate is totally omitted and single- sized coarse aggregates are held together by a binder consisting of paste of hydraulic cement and water. No- Fines concrete creates a porous structural pavement that allows water to infiltrate directly into the soil naturally. Because no- fines concrete allows rainwater to seep directly into the ground, ground water is recharged, water resources are preserved, stormwater runoff is reduced or eliminated, and water quality is improved. This type of concrete is a pervious concrete and can be used successfully for parking lots, sidewalks, low volume streets and various other paving applications. The present paper cites the physical and mechanical behavior of- fines concrete and detailed experiments.
