Pervious concrete consists mainly of a mixture of hydraulic cement, water and coarse aggregate; Although additives or a small percentage of fine aggregate can also be included to improve certain characteristics of this, due to its open structure of interconnected voids, it allows water to pass intentionally through its surface so that it is eventually absorbed into the natural soil or collected to give it some use. In various countries, the use of pervious concrete is very common in the construction of sidewalks, parking lots, light traffic roads, among others. In Colombia, the use of this concrete is not common, therefore, this work tries to further investigate aspects related to it such as its properties, advantages, disadvantages, applications, especially the due construction process, and finally economic and environmental
