Development of Pervious Paver Block Using Sugarcane Bagasse Ash & RAP Aggregates

Abstract

Abstract: This particular kind of concrete is distinguished by its interconnected pore structure and significant void content or porosity, which typically varies from 15 to 35% by volume. Pervious concrete may lower the danger of flooding, diminish stormwater runoff, reduce noise when in contact with automobile tires, and avoid glare and skidding during rainy seasons by allowing water to easily infiltrate through its pores and replenish the ground water table. Considering the condition of the neighboring roadways, a modest effort is undertaken to construct the least amount of porous paver concrete. For the planned Mix proportions, compression strength, void ratio, and infiltration tests were conducted. In the current study, 60mm thick pervious paver blocks for medium traffic with different RAP aggregate percentages and sugarcane bag ash are cast. This improves the compressive strength. RAP aggregates are a suitable material that may be utilized in place of natural and artificial aggregates in construction projects. The thesis shows how discarded sugarcane ash may be used again. Several experiments were conducted to evaluate the compressive strength, density test, porosity, and permeability of the planned paver block as well as its durability.
