Abstract

This study replaced natural aggregate with a fine aggregate of washed municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (WMSWIBA) in the production of compressed concrete paving units to increase the applications of WMSWIBA. The cement-aggregate ratios investigated were 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, and the water-cement ratios were 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30. The results showed that the coefficient of permeability of the compressed concrete paving units was less than 2.66×10-5 cm/sec, the water absorption was 13.55~4.75%, the porosity was 8.05~1.62%, the compressive strength was 12.3~48.5 MPa, the ultrasonic pulse velocity was 1521~3059 m/sec, and the attrition volume loss was 117.7~16.0 cm3/50 cm2. The results suggested that the compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity increase with the cement-aggregate ratio, whereas the attrition loss decreases.
