Abstract
In this experimental investigation compressive strength and water absorption of paver block were evaluated by replacing portion of M-Sand with the Foundry Sand. Polyethylene Terephthalate fibers were also incorporated along with the Foundry Sand to further enhance the mechanical properties. The different proportions of Polyethylene Terephthalate fiber starting from 0.4% by weight of materials. 10% to 30% by weight of M-Sand was replaced with the Foundry Sand. From the test results obtained the optimum Polyethylene Terephthalate fiber and Foundry Sand content from test results was found to be 0.5% and 25% by weight respectively.
