Abstract:
Present construction industry has shown marked improvement in pavement construction. Pavement laying in conventional concrete, which was the case earlier, used to be highly rigid and labor and technology intensive; however, recent progress in interlocked concrete pavers has opened doors to flexible, decorative and relatively stronger pavements. Essential elements of interlock pavement are ingredients with which the precast block has been prepared and geometry of the interlock block. Both these elements define strength of the blocks. The present study focuses at the ingredients Slag as replacement for conventional fine aggregates and addition to add PET fibres in M35 mix of concrete. The replacement level of sand with slag is 0%, 25%, 50% and percentage of pet fibre was 0, 0.5, and 1.0 by the weight of cement. There is huge scope of improvement and further testing in manufacturing interlock blocks by successfully replacing aggregates of in conventional concrete.
