This research explores the use of crushed sand and synthetic fibers to improve the performance of concrete pavements. The study focuses on developing a stronger and more durable pavement material by replacing natural sand with crushed sand and reinforcing it with polypropylene and polyester fibers. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the strength and crack resistance of the modified concrete. Results show that adding fibers significantly enhances the concrete's ability to withstand heavy loads and resist cracking, while crushed sand proves to be an effective alternative to traditional river sand. The findings suggest that this innovative approach could lead to more sustainable and cost-effective road construction, with potential benefits including reduced environmental impact and longer-lasting pavements. The study provides valuable insights for engineers and policymakers looking to implement more resilient infrastructure solutions
