Description
Summary:Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste, a major component of the solid waste is defined as a waste. resulting from the construction, renovation and demolition of structures. Till date a significant portion of C&D waste is disposed of in the landfills which not only consumes a considerable amount of landfill volume but also leads to environmental and health risks. As construction cost increases and land area gets scarcer, it becomes vital to take measures that incorporate a solution to the same. Developing a sustainable construction material (PAVER BLOCK) using construction and demolition (C&D) waste by diversion of C&D waste from the main waste stream can help in gaining a substantial area of land. The present study aims to develop C&D waste paver block of size 275 mm × 220 mm × 130 mm. Cement and fly ash were used as a binder along with C&D waste as replacement for natural coarse and fine aggregate
