Creation of pavement using Cement-less plastic paver blocks



Supervisor: Dr. Anush Konayakanahalli Chandrappa

Who can join the team: Any student of SIF, IIT Bhubaneswar (provided that he is having the required skill set and interest.)

Brief Description: Generally, paver blocks are being produced using cement and strength is being designed w.r.t requirements. Being cement is a costly material and making air-pollution in its different levels of production and uses, and river sand that is not a non-renewable source, this project aims to use plastic and other non- conventional materials that can be used in the same criteria and providing a suitable life-span along with economical.
Related experimentation and modeling will be performed to get a suitable pavement structure.

Outcome: Eco-friendly and Economical Pave-blocks and pavements.
