Abstract

Abstract: Precast interlocking concrete paver blocks are used in immense extent and its demand is increasing dayby day for creating the pavement or for exterior flooring.But largely paver blocks are cast using concrete, in which cement is the binder. But it is an energy absorbing product which consumes more energy during its all phases of production process and it gives out great volume of carbon di-oxide (CO2) to the outside environment causing serious threat on the atmosphere. Thus there is needful to minimize the usage of cement or to find the other possiblebinding agent which is eco friendly. In the other hand large quantity of wastes are getting accumulated which is simply burnt or dumped in a place as a result of which environmental problems are rising and the valuable lands are getting turned into dumping yards. Only little percentage of these wastes is being used for various purposes.The materials which can improve the performance of the building elements can be effectively used in the construction field, thus helping to overcome the complications of disposal issues. Hence in this study an effort is made to use locally available fly ash ,cement, soil to make paver blocks which is then stabilized using somepercentage of cement. Hence in this study an effort is made to use locally available Gadhichi soil to make paver blocks which is then stabilized using some percentage of cement , Fly Ash , and Admixture. The pavers were castand tested for compressive strength.The mixture of soil with 10% of Fly ash and 5% addition of cement by the weight of soil and with addition of 10gm APG Mix with or Without Coating showed satisfactory results .Keywords :- Gadhi Soil , Fly Ash, Cement, Compressive Strength , APG Mix
