Paver Blocks




It is a most popular surface treatment for exteriors. These blocks are aesthetically pleasing, comfortable to walk on, extremely durable, and easy to maintain.

Types of Paver Block

Ø  Concrete Paving Block

This blocks are most suitable for heavy-duty applications. It provides supports to substantial loads. It resist shearing and braking forces.

These blocks have two surfaces. One is smooth and the other is rough and it is manufactured to standard size.

It comes in variety of colour and it is possible to fade away so choosing the colour is important. It is widely used in laying of pavements and driveways.

Ø  Clay Paving Blocks

It is available in typical rectangular brick-shaped. In this paving blocks any side can used and all are interchangeable. It comes in natural colour only hence colour fading is not there. This can be used I walls and pillars.

There are four generic shapes of paver blocks corresponding to the four types of blocks:

Ø  Type A: It has vertical plain faces and that do not interlock into each other in any pattern.

Ø  Type B: These paver blocks have alternate plain and curved faces. It can lock into each other in any pattern.

Ø  Type C: These paver blocks have all faces curved and lock into each other along with all vertical faces.

Ø  Type D: These are ‘L’ and ‘X’ shaped paver blocks which are lock into each other when paved in any pattern.

Advantages of Paver Block

Ø  Maintenance is less in paver blocks compared to concrete or asphalt surfaces. Simple water washing is enough for these blocks.
Ø  These are available in many shapes and colours. These can be used in residential or commercial.
Ø  It is slip and skid resistance.
Ø  It can be used in any weather condition.
Ø  It can be easily removed and replaced with other paved block easily.
Ø  Doesn’t need any special requirement to install.

Coarse Aggregate and its effects in Mix Design of Concrete

Image
Coarse aggregates are one of the main components of mix design and it has a large volume in mix design of concrete. That is why it greatly af fects the concrete mix design. Its property like strength, size, shape, water absorption capacity influence the demand of water, cement and fine aggregates in mix design. High maximum coarse aggregate size will provide lower demand of water because this aggregate has lower surface area compare to small aggregate size. Rounded shaped aggregates provide economical mix design for normal concrete. Angular coarse aggregates are used in high strength concrete. Higher aggregate strength would produce higher concrete strength. Maximum size of coarse aggregate will give the idea about water demand and quantity of fine aggregate in mix design. It will improve workability. Higher maximum size of aggregate lower the surface area and lower aggregate provides large surface area. If surface area is more water demand is higher and surface area i

Uses of Rice Husk Ash in Building Construction

Image
Rice husk ash can be used as a substitute for Portland cement which reduces the cost of concrete and other use is that it can be used in production of high strength concrete. There are many applications of rice husk ash in the construction such as high-performance concrete, insulation, green concrete, bathroom floors, industrial factory floorings, waterproofing and rehabilitation, and it is also used ceramic glaze and roofing shingles. Applications of Rice Husk Ash in Building Constructions Low cost building blocks When low cost building is constructed, rice husk ash is used instead cement. As cement is expansive component of concrete and for low cost building it is not affordable to use so rice husk came in picture. It is demonstrated that, replacing 50% cement with rice husk ash would reduce cost of concrete by 25%.An Indonesian company has used mix proportion of 10% cement, 50% aggregate and 40% RHA plus water to produce blocks. The average strength of the block

Different Green Building materials

Image
Green building materials are used to construct energy efficient structures and to achieve that we all should know the different materials, their properties and how they are contributing into saving the energy. Following are the green building materials Ø   Earthen Materials: Earthen materials such as adobe, cob, rammed earth, chopped straw, grass and other fibrous materials are being used for construction. Ø   Engineered Wood: Wood is one of the most famous building material. This woods are used in structural parts like walls, boards, doors. These engineered wood contains different layers of wood, usually the middle layers are made of wood scraps, softwoods, wood fibres etc. Ø   Bamboo: They can be used to construct frames or supports, walls, floors etc. It provides a pleasant appearance. Ø   SIPs: Structural insulated panels (SIPs) consist of two sheets. They are used for walls and they give good insulation. Ø   Insulated Concrete Forms: They are used
