NICMAR Journal of construction managementSummary: In the current scenario which demands a solution for sustainable environment, many innovations are essential in construction technology. Concrete is the most used and important material for construction in the whole world. Concrete is experimentally found to have strong compressive strength but is similarly poor in tensile strength. The aimless infrastructural development is affecting the environment. Steel which is highly expensive, uneconomical and also leads to increase in COemission is being used as a 2major construction material apart from concrete in construction. The purpose of this paper is replacing steel with bamboo to obtain an environmentally-friendly cement concrete paving blocks which can replace rigid pavement. The use ofbamboo reduces the effect on environment due to the fact that bamboo is an eco-friendly material. This study makes use ofbamboo (bamboo is treated with linseed oil and well-seasoned) as a mesh reinforcement in the cement concrete pavement blocks to increase the tensile strength ofthe blocks and to make it an effective replacement for the white topping or cement concrete pavement. The use ofbamboo resulted in providing similar tensile strength compared to steel and also increased the compressive strength allowing it to be used under high wheel loads. The expected compressive strength was 40Mpa with the use ofM40 concrete, but the compressive test results at 28 days resulted in 52 + Mpa, thereby giving a clear sign that this is the best alternative to rigid pavement.

In the current scenario which demands a solution for sustainable environment, many innovations are essential in construction technology. Concrete is the most used and important material for construction in the whole world. Concrete is experimentally found to have strong compressive strength but is similarly poor in tensile strength. The aimless infrastructural development is affecting the environment. Steel which is highly expensive, uneconomical and also leads to increase in COemission is being used as a 2major construction material apart from concrete in construction. The purpose of this paper is replacing steel with bamboo to obtain an environmentally-friendly cement concrete paving blocks which can replace rigid pavement. The use ofbamboo reduces the effect on environment due to the fact that bamboo is an eco-friendly material. This study makes use ofbamboo (bamboo is treated with linseed oil and well-seasoned) as a mesh reinforcement in the cement concrete pavement blocks to increase the tensile strength ofthe blocks and to make it an effective replacement for the white topping or cement concrete pavement.
