Performance Evaluation of Environmentally Sustainable Precast Cement Concrete Paver Blocks Using Fly Ash and Polypropylene Fibre

Paver blocks are manufactured from zero-slump plain concrete, which is small element used for outdoor applications and flexible road surfaces. IS:15658 (2006) permits the use of 33- grade ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as minimum manufacturing paver blocks, but usage this type restricted in India nowadays. In context, we have studied OPC 43-grade replaced by 30% Class F-grade fly ash addition 0.0% 0.5% polypropylene fibre (PPF) to evaluate suitability terms climatic conditions, movement vehicles surfaces India. The synergistic effect mechanical properties revealed that a replacement with 0.3% PPF more suitable blocks. obtained results reference mixes indicated increased respect age present study important block manufacturers it fulfils mix design, strength durability requirements Indian roads associated utilization waste materials such ash. Additionally, will help national economy increase 20% future, along sustainability virgin materials.
