using granite waste a concrete block paver with different shapes and different thickness can be made. Replacing granite waste with coarse aggregate, in the ratio of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% ,50%. results showed that replacing up to 20% can be used for medium to heavy traffic and replacing up to 40% can be used for low to medium traffic.

3.  Concrete is considered as the second most consumed material after water. It was
estimated that the world consumes twenty-five billion tonnes of concrete every year.
 while the Indian construction industry consumes 450 million cubic meter of concrete
every year. Concrete is the mixture of cement, aggregates (coarse and fine) and water in
which the aggregates constitute 65–80% of the total volume.
 Due to the severe scarcity of natural aggregates to produce concrete, the partial
substitution of aggregates with industrial waste materials like slag, tire rubber, stone
waste, pond ash, foundry sand, plastic wastes etc. were proved to be very effective with
a positive influence on the mechanical and durability properties.

4.  Granite is a commonly used as an ornamental stone as well as a building
material. India is one of the leading nations in the production and export of
granite and other stones, with about 110 varieties of different colours and
textures.
 ` The granite stone industries in India produces vast amount of by-product rock
waste and as a result, many residential and agricultural areas are settled over
the landfills which are basically composed of these waste materials.
 As the physical and chemical properties of granite are suitable, the by-product
rock wastes could be used for the preparation of concrete as a partial
replacement for fine or coarse aggregates. The present study aims the
utilization of polished granite waste as a partial substitute for coarse aggregate
in interlocking concrete block pavement.

5.  This experiment aims at finding a viable option for the utilization of
demolition and construction concrete waste, available at every
construction site, to fabricate interlocking pavement blocks which
could be directly used in same project. This simple technique will
reduce the construction cost and save the projects surrounding
environment in addition to friendly disposal of projects waste.

6. C.S.POON, S.C. KOU, L. LAM : The result showed that the replacement
of coarse and fine recycled aggregates at the level of 25 and 50% had little
effect on compressive strength of the block specimen, but higher level of
replacement reduces the compressive strength. However, the transverse
strength of specimen increase as %age of replacement increased. With
recycled as replacement of natural aggregates at the level of up to 100%,
concrete pavement blocks with 28-days compressive strength of not less than
48 MPA can be produced without the incorporation of fly ash, while paving
block for footway uses with a low compressive strength of 30Mpa and
masonry bricks can be produce with the incorporation of fly ash

7.  N K SHARMA, P KUMAR,S KUMAR,BS THOMAS,RC GUPTA : The
granite waste as a replacement for coarse aggregate in
concrete, M30 grade concrete was designed with water to
cement ratio 0.38. Other water–cement ratios of 0.4 and 0.42
were also studied. The ratio of cement, fine aggregate and
coarse aggregate were 1: 1.50: 2.79. Polished granite waste
was replaced for 20 mm coarse aggregate from 0% to 40% in
multiple of 10%. Water absorption decrease, workability is
increase,compressive strength and flexure strength is gradullay
reduce with amount of granite waste added. the concrete
containing polished granite waste up to 20% of natural coarse
aggregate could be recommended for all applications and the
substitution from 20% to 40% could be recommended for non-
structural applications, pavement etc

10.  The utilization of granite waste in concrete can minimize environmental impact
and reduce the consumption of natural resources in concrete.
 To minimize the cost of construction of the concrete pavement blocks.
 To minimize the use of the natural course and natural fine aggregates.
 To promote the use of demolish waste, produce due to the demolition of the old
buildings.
 Good quality of the blocks ensures durability of pavement, when constructed
to specifications
 Utilization of granite wasteage which is deposit in landfill

11.  MATERIALS USED:
 Cement
 Fine aggregates
 Coarse aggregates
 Granite waste
 Water

12.  Cement: Cement can be describe as a material with adhesive
and cohesive properties which make it as an binding material,
there are different grades of cement 33, 43, 53 .
 Fine aggregates :
 Coarse aggregates : Recycled coarse aggregates are used as
a replacement of natural coarse aggregates. Demolished
building waste is used as a source of the recycled coarse
aggregates.

13.  Specific gravity test: the specific gravity of fine and coarse aggregates are
determine, the specific gravity is the ratio of mass of substance to the equal
amount of water.
 Crushing value test: crushing value test is to be carried on aggregate and
granite waste
 Abrasion value test: los angles abrasion test is to be carried on the
aggregate and granite waste.
 Water absorption test: water absorption test is to be carried on aggregates
and granite waste.

14.  Workability test: this test is carried on the
fresh concrete paste prepared from the mix
design, to determine workability of concrete
slump test or compaction factor test is carried
out. After the concrete is prepared standard
size mould is used for preparation of pavement
blocks and different tests were carried out
after 7, 14 and 28days of curing.

15.  Compressive strength test : Compressive strength of
blocks at 7, 14, and 28 days of curing is carried out in
compression testing machine.
 Water absorption test : Water absorption test of
blocks at 7, 14, and 28 days of curing is carried out to
determine percentage of water absorb by the block.

16.  There is a wide range of styles, types, colours and sizes of block pavers
hence there are also many design possibilities.
 Block paving is considered to be more attractive than basic, plain tar
macadam surfaces for driveways.
 Block paving can be relatively inexpensive if you choose the basic
rectangular blocks.

17.  Individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if they are damaged,
or stained with oil, diesel or petrol spillages.
 Because paving blocks are manufactured rather than cut from
natural stone, block sizes tend to be very accurate and uniform.
 No specialist machinery is required
 Concrete block paving is cost effective when compared to clay
pavers or natural stone blocks such as granite sets.
 There is a wide choice in the depths of concrete block pavers
from 50 mm to over 100 mm. This can make block paving
suitable for both domestic and commercial applications.

18.  Concrete block paving can be expensive if specialist blocks such as tumbles or
those imitating natural stone setts are chosen.
 Inadequate and poorly prepared sub-bases can result in block paving surfaces
sinking in high use areas such as those which regularly take the weight of traffic
 Areas without properly installed edging restraints or kerbs to picture frame the
driveway and provide integrity to the surface can cause the blocks move, opening
up gaps.
 Weed and moss growth can occur between the blocks as airborne seeds settle into
the sand. This can look unsightly and needs to be cleaned out regularly.
 The colour of some less expensive block pavers can fade over time due to exposure
to Ultra Violet light.
