TThis study is mainly focused on improving the strength of paver blocks using granite powder with concrete Paver blocks are commonly used as decorative method of creating a pavement .The main benefit is that the bricks can be separately lifted up and replaced. It does not require a lot of maintenance. Concrete is a combination of cement, aggregate and water. In this experiment Concrete Block Pavement (CBP) are formed from individual solid blocks that fit closely next to one another to form a pavement surface. CBP is placed with a variety of spaces and pattern. The block which is used in this project has a space of BI-ARC and having a dimension of 260 x 110 x 80 mm (or) 26 x 11 x 8 cm. In this study compressive strength test, Split tensile strength test are conducted in M40 grade concrete. Different portion of granite powder in the percentage of 10%, 20%, 50% were added to the concrete. In future, there is going to be a time when there will be scarcity for cement. So, we have used granite powder to reduce cement usage for producing paver block
