ii Pervious concrete has been used in the United State for over 30 years. Because of its high porosity, the most common usages have been in the area of stormwater management, but have been limited to use in pavements with low volume traffic because of its low compressive strength compared to conventional concrete. Fly ash has been shown in numerous post studies to increase the strength and durability of conventional concrete. In this study, six batches of pervious concrete with different amounts of aggregate, cement, and fly ash were prepared to find the mix that generated high compressive strength and study the effect of fly ash on the compressive strength and permeability of pervious concrete. Materials used in this study were selected based on literature reviews and recommendations from local sources. Unconfined compressive strength tests were carried out on pervious concrete specimens with fly ash contents of 0%, 2%, 9%, 30%, 32 % by weight of the total cementitious materials. Falling head permeability tests were carrie
