Abstract:
One of the major problems in India is the lack of facility for pedestrians and non- motorized vehicles. The majority of road network built, lacks pedestrian safety and convenience to promote walking. Around 50% of work-related trips are performed using non-motorized form of transport. Paver block is one of the most popular options for construction of facilities for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles as these blocks are aesthetically pleasing, comfortable to walk on, extremely durable, and easy to maintain. Most commonly used paver blocks are Concrete Paver Blocks. Conventional concrete paver blocks consist of cement, coarse aggregate, and fine aggregate. The ecological impact of raw material production for concrete is substantial, which makes it very important to study alternatives for sustainable construction. Moreover, manufacture of ordinary Portland cement generates large amounts of greenhouse gases. Numerous research efforts have been made continuously to establish geopolymer as the most suitable alternative binder material in view of economical and environment consideration. In this project, use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregates as a substitute to coarse aggregates in geopolymer concrete paver blocks is being studied. RAP is removed or reprocessed pavement material containing asphalt and aggregates. RAP is generated when asphalt pavements are removed for reconstruction or resurfacing. Every year, a lot of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is produced due to repair and reconstruction of roads. Although RAP has been reused in several applications, a large portion of it remains unutilized. This un-utilized RAP, if processed properly, can be a good source for fine and coarse aggregates. In this present study, an attempt is made to manufacture fly ash and GGBS based geopolymer concrete paver blocks containing varying percentages of RAP aggregates and study the strength and durability properties of the paver blocks thus made.
