Utilising　pervious　concrete　(PC)　increases　the　environmental,　economic　and　social　benefits.　This　study　aims　to　investigate　the　mechanical　performance　of　PC　paving　bricks　using　smaller　single-sized　coarse　aggregates　with　different　types　of　fibres:　Kevlar,　Polyvinyl　Alcohol　(PVA)　and　Ultra-High　Molecular　Weight　Polyethylene　(UHMWPE)　fibres.　Four　PC　mixes　were　designed　using　a　modified　ACI　method　and　paving　bricks　formed　using　a　pressure　compaction　method　of　2　MPa　and　air-curing　for　28　days.　Results　showed　that　the　use　of　smaller　coarse　aggregate　results　in　reduced　porosity.　However,　the　addition　of　fibres　at　a　volume　fraction　of　0.3　%　lead　to　approximately　47　%,　21.5　%　and　18.8　%　decrease　in　28-days　compressive　strength,　and　26　%,　7.3　%,　and　17.6　%　reduction　in　tensile　splitting　strength　for　specimens　containing　Kevlar,　PVA,　and　UHMWPE　fibres,　respectively.　When　compared　with　the　control　group,　an　optimum　9.5　%　increase　in　the　flexural　strength　shows　the　effectiveness　of　the　fibre　addition.　The　permeability　values　range　between　0.15　cm/s　to　0.39　cm/s,　which　is　proportional　to　the　porosity　of　the　material　and　satisfactory　according　to　ACI　standards.　Combining　the　pressure　compaction　method　and　the　addition　of　fibres　adversely　affects　the　compressive　and　splitting　tensile　strength,　while　increasing　the　flexural　strength　slightly.　An　alternative　forming/moulding　method　that　can　fully　utilise　the　addition　of　fibres　is　worth　further　investigation.　©　2020　The　Author(s)
