Investigations on Slag-Fly Ash-Glass Powder Based Ecofriendly Interlocking Paver Blocks
This interrogation presents an laboratory exploration on sustainable interlocking concrete paving blocks (ICPB) produced using alkali activated cementitious materials. The study involves comparison of mechanical properties such as compressive, split-tensile, flexural strengths, and scratch resistance of ICPBs produced using one type of “alkali activated concrete” (AAC) with that of the conventional OPC based paver blocks obtained from field. The AAC is systematically developed using GGBS, fly-ash and powdered waste glass as binding ingredients. The investigations were extended to learn the compression and tensile behavior of geo-grid reinforced alkali activated ICPBs introduced in two layers. The cost analysis was also carried-out to compare the AAC with OPC based ICPBs. The experimental results reveal that the use of alkali activated ICPBs are proved be the sustainable replacement to OPC based conventional ICPBs. Thus, alkali activated concrete ICPBs must be commercialized and produced in a large scale for the sustainable construction of interlocking pavement system.
