Abstract :

In India, total quantum of waste from construction industry is estimated to be between12 to 14 million tonnes per annum, out of which 7 to 8 million tonnes are concrete and ick waste. Construction, demolition, renovation generates large amount of concrete waste. This waste is either dumped or it is diverted towards landfill. This concrete waste can be qualitatively reused for manufacturing of various concrete blocks. In this report, we represent the concept of sustainable use of concrete waste in concrete which can be used in manufacturing of interlocking paver blocks. After crushing, this concrete waste can be used as a replacement of coarse and fine aggregates in two stages as complete and half replacement in paver blocks by considering IS specification. In this project, by considering suitable materials, size, shape, mix design etc. and by accepting specific casting methodology and by performing various specific tests, we are going to cast interlocking paver blocks.
