Abstract |
|
Solid unreinforced cement concrete paver blocks is a versatilely used for the construction of roads. This project is part of a study investigating the structural characteristics of cement concrete paver blocks using various combinations of Natural River sand and quarry fines. Here quarry fines will complete replace river sand as fine aggregate in concrete. Samples of concrete cube were made using varying contents of River Sand and quarry dust as fine aggregate. The quantity of River Sand was varied from 0% to 100% against quarry fines at intervals of 20%. The samples were cured for specified periods and tested in the laboratory for compressive strength. Workability tests were earlier carried out to determine the optimum water/cement ratios for three different mixes. M40 mix was designed as per IS specification with water cement ratio 0.40. |
