Abstract
Cement stabilized soil (CSS) blocks are made through compacting semidried mixture of soil, cement and water at different compacting forces. CSS blocks have advantages of wide material availability, low cost, less required energy, environmental benefits and flexibility. The engineering properties of the CSS blocks are dependent on the mix proportion design, soil characteristic and composition and compaction energy. Rubber from recycled tyres is an example of reuse of waste to produce a sustainable material and has been proved to improve concrete properties. To encourage the development of a more sustainable paver material with improved properties, this paper presents an investigation on the mix design and properties testing of both factory and laboratory-manufactured rubberized cement stabilized soil (RCSS) pavers, through using crumb rubber to partially replace fine aggregates in CSS, at volume replacement ratio of 10 and 20%. Unconfined compressive strength of both CSS and RCSS pavers were conducted according to Australian standard AS4456.4 (Masonry units, segmental pavers and flagsāmethods of test. Method 4: determining compressive strength of masonry units, [1]).
