An Experimental Study on Rigid Pavements by Using Various Waste Materials

Abstract

In this study, the possibility of using fly ash, copper slag & marble slurry powder in concrete production is examined by studying the effects of blending of fly ash, copper slag & marble slurry powder with partial replacement of natural sand and also the performance of fresh and hardened concrete. This study represented the results of experimental investigation carried out to determine compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete mixes for grade M25 & M30. The cement concrete so investigated could be utilized as the rigid pavements on the low volume roads. It might be a forward step towards sustainable construction of green highways.
