Popis: Pervious Concrete (PC) has long been used in surface runoff management. But one of its major drawbacks is its low strength. Several industrial wastes apparently contain properties that could aid the increase in strength of PC such as coal fly ash and fine sawdust. Thus, their utilization is a possible solution that could address the low-strength issues of PC along with industrial waste disposal management. This study was conducted to investigate the laboratory and field performance of PC while incorporating coal fly ash (CFA) as partial cement replacement and fine sawdust (FSD) as internal curing agent and filler admixture. Tests were performed in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. In general, the test results showed that PC with CFA and FSD as additives in PC gained enough strength to be considered for field application. In-situ infiltration and strength results showed that the pavement conformed to the typical values for a functional PC pavement.
