Abstract
This experimental investigation deals with the utilization of fly ash as a substitute for cement and fine aggregate in high-grade concrete. Fly ash is collected, characterized, and added for the manufacture of concrete tiles and paver blocks in different percentages, replacing conventional materials such as cement and sand. Compressive, flexural, water absorption, and even durability tests are conducted for paver blocks and the optimum percentage of fly ash for each parameter is obtained. A wet transverse strength test and water absorption test are conducted to evaluate the suitability of fly ash addition in concrete tiles. The addition of fly ash shows substantial improvement in strength and durability properties. Suitable recommendations are given in favor of concrete tiles and paver blocks with fly ash, enabling paving with sustainable construction and reduced environmental degradation.
