Abstract: Concrete is one of the most widely used material in the construction industry. Also many roads are made of concrete base. Many problems are their related to concrete roads in which one of the most leading problem is waterlogging. As there are many uncertainties in rainfall, designed rainwater collection pipe fails due to excessive rainfall and due to which waterlogging over roads occurs. The development of pervious concrete offers promising signs for a change in the way of producing concrete pavements. Void content and permeability of cube was carried out and also void content and permeability of cylinder was carried out. It was found that as the void content increases, permeability increases while compressive strength decreases.

Keywords: Void ratio, Permeability, Falling head method
