The aim of this project is to replace cement with ceramic waste in paver block and to reduce the cost of paver block when compared to that of conventional concrete paver block. In recent constructions, consumption of ceramic materials is increasing day by day in the form of tiles, sanitary fittings and electrical insulations etc. But a large quantity of ceramic waste material is changes into wastage during processing, transportation and fixation due to its brittle nature. In this study, the ordinary Portland cement (opc) has been replaced by crushed ceramic tile by various percentages such as 10%, 20%, and 30%. Paver blocks were casted, tested and compared with conventional blocks by finding their Compressive and flexural strength through experimental investigation. The test was carried out to evaluate hardened properties of paver block. This project proves that the waste produced in tile industry can be used as partial replacement of cement in paver block.
