Interlocking Concrete Block has been existing in India in development, 10 years prior, for exacting requirement to be specific footpaths and parking areas and so on. currently Interlocking Concrete Block Pavement is being received broadly in various uses where the traditional development of pavement utilizing hot bituminous blend (for flexible pavement) or cement concrete (for rigid pavement) is not desirable or attractive. India is artistic with one of the best granite deposits in the world and accounts for over 20% of world’s resource in granite. Granite chips are waste produced in granite factories while cutting granite rocks to the desired shapes and also in polishing granite slabs. Disposal of this granite waste has become a major problem. Random disposal of the granite waste would lead to health hazard and disposal in landfill will decrease the life of landfill. This experimental work was conducted on Paver Blocks containing granite waste as a partial and fully replacement of coarse aggregate by granite waste chips at 25% 50%, 75% and 100% by weight. The standard paver block measure the compressive strength, flexural strength, abrasion resistance after 28 days and 56 days and water absorption test and cost compared this to that of control mixes of M45 grade.
