Abstract: A porous concrete is enthused by many developed countries. It is known as a green concrete or permeable concrete. It is suitable for traffic road and also acts as the drainage system. Other than that, porous surfaces in parking lots are believed to help infiltration and the cleansing storm water. In this study, an applicability of local marble stones to the porous concrete is examined. An additive material named SikaCim® was also used for early strength gain and workability. It aims to investigate the effect of the use of marble waste with the addition of SikaCim® on the porous concrete regarding compression strength, porosity, and flow rate.
