Abstract

Paver blocks are flexible pavement surfacing options used for exterior pavement application which is more durable with low maintenance. In this investigation, an attempt is made to exploit the waste from copper industry in the form of slag. At present more than enough, copper slag has been extracted as a waste material from the copper industry. The present study is aimed to utilize Copper Slag in Paver blocks as a supplementary material for fine aggregate and to study its feasibilityon thebehaviour of paver blocks. Usage of Copper slagas a replacement of fine aggregate substantially reduces the river sand consumption. Experimental investigations are carried out by the replacement of sand in 10%, 20% and 30% of copper slag for M40 grade of concrete to meet the Medium traffic requirements of paver blocks and the mechanical properties are analyzed using compression test and split tension test andalso water absorption test and abrasion tests arecarried
