  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents comparison in strength of pervious concrete block by using Natural course aggregate (NCA) and plastic coated course aggregate (PCCA). Industrial activities are associated with significant amounts of non-biodegradable solid waste, waste plastic being among the most prominent. This study involves increasing the efficiency of reusing waste plastic in the production of concrete. This work investigated prior studies on the compressive strength on pervious concrete as it relates to water cement ratio, aggregate size and compaction and compare those results with results obtained in laboratory experiments conducted on sample of pervious concrete block made of NCA and PCCA. The compressive strength of the concrete cubes was tests at laboratory. 36 cubes were molded for compressive strength test. Curing ages of 7, 14, and 28 days for the concrete mixtures were applied in this work. It has been found that there is significantly improvement in the properties of plastic coated aggregate and the compressive strength of PCA cubes is slightly less than the NCA cubes
