Abstract
Paver blocks, a non-traditional pavement material, are increasingly being used in open areas due to their ability to bear traffic and non-traffic loads. The construction industry has led to increased consumption of natural resources for cement production, contributing to the greenhouse gas effect. Additionally, industrialization has led to a significant production of waste materials. With the popularity of paver blocks and their growing demand, there is a potential to incorporate waste materials like glass Fiber and Fly ash into their manufacturing. Experimental works have shown successful waste incorporation in paver block manufacturing, with fly ash being a promising cement replacement material. Slag has also been used to replace up to 40% of cement with satisfactory results, resulting in a strength increase of over 3% compared to normal
