Abstract: Paver blocks are widely used in various applications such as pavements, driveways, and industrial surfaces due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. In this study, the potential of using polypropylene (PP) as a partial replacement for aggregates in paver blocks was investigated. The aim was to enhance the overall performance and longevity of the blocks by improving their strength, durability, and resistance to cracking and deformation. The research involved evaluating the mechanical properties of paver blocks with varying percentages of PP as replacements for conventional aggregates. Experimental tests, including water absorption, and compressive strength were conducted to assess the effects of incorporation on the performance of the blocks. The results indicated that the addition of PP positively influenced the properties of the paver blocks. The compressive strength of the blocks improved significantly, resulting in enhanced load-bearing capacity and resistance to bending or breaking. Moreover, the impact resistance of the blocks increased, making them suitable for high-traffic areas or locations where heavy objects may be dropped. The incorporation of PP also contributed to a reduction in water absorption, mitigating the risk of water-related damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking. However, it was observed that adjustments to the mix design and production process were necessary to maintain the desired workability while ensuring proper dispersion. While the use of PP in paver blocks offers several advantages in terms of durability and strength, it is important to consider the associated costs and potential impacts on the appearance and environmental aspects of the blocks. This study provides valuable insights into the feasibility and benefits of utilizing polypropylene as a partial replacement for aggregates in paver block production. The findings contribute to the understanding of how such modifications can improve the performance and extend the service life of paver blocks, ultimately promoting sustainable and resilient infrastructure development.
Keywords: paver blocks, polypropylene (PP), aggregates, durability, strength, compressive strength, water absorption.
