Experimental Investigation on Paver Block by Using Plastering Sand with Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate

Abstract

For the disposal of P-Sand, India has a glut of together reclamation sites and landfill area. It is essential for India to have aapproach for reducing, reusing, and recycling P-Sand. One way to accomplish this is to employ P-Sand in pavement blocks as a partial replacement for fine aggregate, so decreasing C&D waste as well as fine aggregate costs in concrete. For a 0 percent, 20%, 40%, and 80% replacement of C&D waste in fine aggregate, different mix proportions were developed. Paving block compressive strength was measured. The results showed that maximal strength may be attained by replacing fine aggregate with construction and demolition waste fine aggregate in the range of 40% to 60%, saving 3.28 percent in concrete costs. According to the findings, P-Sand can successfully substitute fine aggregate with only a minor increase in strength.
