Industrial waste products consist of multiple materials and now have created a worldwide issue. Examples of these materials include Fly Ash, GGBS, Rice Husk Ash, and plastics. By exploring the potential use of these waste materials for the purpose of producing sustainable paver blocks as a green alternative to conventional paver blocks, the main focus of this project was to assess the strength, durability, and impact on the environment when these materials are used at optimal ratios. The methodology used to determine the viability of the use of the materials for construction included material characterization, mix design optimization, and extensive experimental testing. Fly Ash (8%), GGBS (12%), Rice Husk Ash (5%), and shredded plastic (5% fine aggregate) have been substituted in M40 grade concrete paver blocks. Key characteristics evaluated in each of the mixtures were compressive strength, water absorption, abrasion resistance, and flexural strength. The goal of this project is to promote environmentally responsible construction practices while managing industrial and agricultural wastes and to achieve approximately 40% reduction in CO₂ emissions and 20-25% cost savings as compared to the conventional concrete paver blocks.
