A Comprehensive Analysis of Paver Block Using Ceramic Waste Powder (CWP) for Light Traffic Condition

Turbulent rise in construction activities resulted in excessive consumption of naturally available basic substance which are used for concrete manufacturing. The best possible route to get past this circumstance is to look for the alternatives. Construction activities and industrialization expanded and due to this the produced waste has also increased which are either landfilled or having no way to dispose or reuse. Some of them are fly ash, silica fumes, ground granulated blast furnace slag, limestone etc. This particular research paper emphasizes on the way of utilizing ceramic waste powder in concrete as paver block. The paver blocks are designed and strength criteria is satisfied according to the Indian standards for medium and heavy traffic conditions. The CWP is used in form of partial substitution of cement in concrete at the level of 0, 3, 6, 9. 12 and 15. The mechanical tests likewise compressive, flexural, split tensile strength, porosity and density etc. are performed to assess the feasibility of CWP in Concrete paver blocks.
