The concrete paving blocks were constructed with the nominal mix of 1:2:4; the partial replacements of cement and coarse aggregates were 15% and 5% with fly ash and plastic waste, respectively. The research objectives were to determine the compressive strength, flexure strength and split tensile strength of the concrete paving blocks. Specimens were tested for a duration of 7, 14 and 28 days. The study shows that cement can partially be replaced with fly ash and coarse aggregate can partially be replaced with plastic waste. The biggest advantage of the utilization of fly ash and plastic waste in the concrete paving block can reduce its wastage; the disposal of these materials in open land renders it affected. The utilization of industrial waste materials in concrete will aid in the reduction of environmental pollution. The results of the investigation have shown that for 0.55 water-cement ratio, the mechanical properties of concrete specimens were almost the same after 28 days duration.

Investigation is done on M30 mix using fly ash as partial replacement to cement in various percentage by weight of cement such as 25 and 50, also waste glass and dust as partial replacement to fine aggregate. The paving blocks face different problems such as the rutting failure, uneven settlement, less durability. The paving block fails at the least surface area and the edges due to bending action. Principal forms of pavement damage are traffic-induced ruts and cracking, lipping and damage to pavers caused by container stacking. In this work, to overcome this problems the properties of the paving block are enhanced by using fly ash, waste glass, optimum dose of plasticizer, replacement of fine aggregate by dust etc.

Small buildings are replaced by high rise buildings and skyscraper. This arises one of the major problem in deriving natural light in building, due to obstruction of nearby structures. To overcome this problem, artificial sources are used to illuminate building, but artificial light leads to increase of heat level in the buildings. To evaluate the effectiveness of the smart transparent concrete, the present study aims at producing the concrete specimens by combining glass rods and optical fibers with different percentage and comparing it with the normal concrete. Two tests are carried out compressive test and light transmission test and cost comparisons are also done.
