Abstract
Concrete paver blocks in road pavement is better option in roads construction if conventional road construction is not desirable, uneconomical and has some environmental constraints. Interlocking Concrete Block Pavement (ICBP) is widely now used in India as a part of construction for footpaths, parking areas etc. In present study, paver blocks were prepared of M40 design mix proportions as per IS standards and an attempt is made for experimental investigation on strength of paver block by partial replacement of cement via 5%, 7%, 9%, 11%, 13% and 15% of Hypo Sludge. Water absorption, Compressive strength test and Flexural strength test are performed to check the water content and strength of paver blocks. Results are compared with standard paver block and finally cost comparison is done.
