Abstract

India is made with rural and urban area; rural area consists of ancient mud which we used in construction. This mud soil has been used in the construction of houses for ancient time. Interlocking paver blocks are used in immense extent and its demand is increasing day by day for creating the pavement or for exterior flooring. But largely paver blocks are cast using concrete, in which cement is the binder but is an energy absorbing product which consumes more energy during its all phases of production process and it gives out great volume of carbon di-oxide (CO2) to the outside environment causing serious treat on the atmosphere. Thus, there is needful to minimize the usage of cement or to find the other possible binding agent which is ecofriendly. In the other hand large quantity of agroindustrial wastes are getting accumulated which is simply burnt or dumped in a place because of which environmental problems are rising and the valuable lands are getting turned into dumping yards. Only little percentage of these wastes is being used for various purposes. Hence in this study an effort is made to use locally available Gadhichi soil to make paver blocks which is then stabilized using some percentage of cement , Fly Ash , and Admixture. The pavers were cast and tested for compressive strength.The mixture of soil with 10% of Fly ash and 5% addition of cement by the weight of soil and with addition of 10gm APG Mix with or Without Coating showed satisfactory results .
