Utilization of Fly Ash and Quarry Dust as a Partial Replacement of Cement and Sand along with Waste Plastic in Paving Blocks

The rapid development of housing and infrastructure from last one decade continuously takes place in India. Along with that naturally, the product required to overcome this development produce in mass quantities like Pavement blocks, which are known as industrial products of precast made up by concrete, having various shapes and sizes utilizes in huge quantity in housing and infrastructure construction. The conventional materials to manufacturing these blocks utilize in large quantity, which may create an impact on natural recourses. Paver blocks unit generally used for diverse traffic classes i.e., Non-traffic, Light-traffic, Medium-traffic, Heavy-traffic and really important traffic. Most concrete block paving created in country has performed satisfactorily but there are two main areas of concern: occasional failure thanks to excessive surface wear, and variability inside the strength of blocks. To overcome this impact, we can use different materials such as, Fly Ash, Quarry Dust, Waste Plastic’s, etc. Fly ash and Quarry dust are the industrial outgrowth which we used in these projects. Using these byproducts, the pollution and disposal problems of materials be reduced. Concrete paving blocks are exemplary materials on the footpaths for easy laying, better look and finish.
