Studies of the Properties of Paver Block using Fly Ash

In these days the use of concrete Paver Block in road pavement is widely used. Such a time concrete Paver Block is better option in road construction as compared to the conventional road which is made by bitumen and gravel in a cost view of point and better suitability. India is a developing country so here the construction of roadway and building plays an important role. Now days most of the work related with building or roadway is done by cement concrete design mix. In this thesis I have design paver block by using Cement Concrete mixture of Design Mix M35 which is made of 10mm Coarse Aggregate, OPC 43 Grade Cement and Fine Aggregate and paver block is of dimension 200 x 160 x 80 mm. In this process use the partial replacement of Cement with Fly Ash in percentage of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% respectively and also, added Gypsum constantly 2% by weight of cement in total mixture of Cement Concrete. Superplasticizer is used as an admixture which is added 2% by weight of cement constantly in the production of concrete mixture. The function of this admixture is to reduce the water cement ratio. The Paver Block curing process is done for 7 days, 14 days and 28 days respectively to find its compressive strength. The main objective of this thesis is to use waste products like fly ash for the production of Paver Block which will useful in construction.
