Abstract |
|
Concrete paving blocks are ideal materials on the footpaths and roads for easy laying, better look and finish. Paver block has low cost maintenance and easily replace with a newer one at the time of breakage. So an attempt is made to study regard the properties of the paver block which is manufactured using waste plastic and crushed sand. Waste plastic used to replace cement in the production of pavement block. conventional M20 grade concrete paver block and paver block made of waste plastic and crushed sand of proportion waste plastic to crushed sand: 100:00, 90:10, 80:20,70:30 and 60:40 and tested for weight, water absorption, rebound hammer and compressive strength test. Paver block of proportion 100% plastic and 0% sand gives maximum compressive strength of 23 N/mm2 which is more than conventional M20 grade concrete paver block. |
