A pavement has always been in trend with lots of amelioration and furtherance. From gravel and cobblestone pavements to asphalt and concrete pavements, the world has seen a lot of new design criteria with the theoretical, field, and laboratory test analysis. From ages, the concept of Pavement has been holding on to improvising its esteemed characteristics such as compressive strength, durability, and life span. With varying mix designs and new methodologies of pavement evaluation and improvisation, the concept of sustainable pavements has gained enough priority. Better and durable quality with economical benefit and ecological balance is a much-needed pavement as per the present scenario of Mother-Earth. For a tidier society, the need for a new advancement in pavements has become crucial. With the rising revolution, Pervious Concrete Pavement (PCP) has paved its way straight to the top with an exceptional working mechanism in the category of Sustainable Pavement Technology (SPT). PCP has gained its empowered usage with beneficiary factors such as controlling storm-water runoff, reduction in pavement noise, providing vehicle-friendly pavements with a good riding platform, and being budget-friendly. With various conceptual studies and from several literature reviews, it is proven that PCP has become the future of pavement engineering with more add-ons and advantages. Therefore, this review paper, in particular, deals with the advancements of pavements, the necessity of sustainable pavements and, the transmogrification of Pervious Concrete Pavement. Following the theoretical concepts, the reviewed articles and proven test results will be scrutinized. This study concludes that available design mixes will be concentrated and accentuated for further analysis thus, proving PCP to be more efficacious in SPT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
