This research aimed to study the use of coarse aggregate obtained from removing old recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in the production of the porous concrete paving block. Crushing and size separation of the coarse aggregate by using standard sieve size by selected the gradation size of the coarse aggregate that passed to sieve size 1/2” and retained on sieve size 3/8” and other that passed to sieve size 3/8” and retained on sieve size No.4 by mixing ratio 50 : 50 of the mass as replaced natural coarse aggregate. Portland cement quantity about 18% and 20% by weight of the aggregate. The water to cement ratio was 0.30 and 0.35 respectively. Compressive strength flexural strength and water permeability were investigated. The results showed that the cement content and water to cement ratio was influenced the strength properties and water permeability rate of the porous concrete paving block. The porous concrete paving block mixed with higher cement content (20%) had the compressive strength at the age of 28 days increased by 16-24% when compared with lower cement content (18%). On the other hand the water permeability rate decreased by 5.1-8.1%.

This research presents a study of the compressive strength flexural strength coefficient of permeability and superplasticizer requriment of Porous Concrete containing fine fly. Portland cement (CT) is partially replaced with pozzolans 0 20 30 and 40% by weight of the cementitious materials. The results show that the high compressive strength flexural strength and low total void ratio of Porous Concrete improves substantially with partial replacement of Portland cement with fly ash. Porous Concrete mix cement containing 20 and 30% of fly ash can be used to make cementitious materials. In addition the use of fly ash produces Porous Concrete mix with good compressive strength flexural strength total void ratio and coefficient of permeability.

This research has objectives to study the production to find the proper size of steel wire mesh to test the properties and to study the implementation of high strength and thermal insulation cement-bonded fiberboard from coconut meal corncob fibers and steel wire mesh. The mixture ratio of cement-bonded fiberboard included Portland cement type1: sand: coconut meal fiber: corncob fiber: water: calcium chloride equal to 1: 0.2: 0.0125: 0.0375: 0.3: 0.03 by weight and 5 different sizes of steel wire mesh were reinforced. Casted by compression and sharking machine. Tested the properties follow the TIS.878-2537. From the results 1 mm of diameter and 1” of gab of steel wire mesh (? 1 mm # 1”) was the proper size to reinforce the cement-bonded fiberboard to get highest bending strength. Moreover this cement-bonded fiberboard can pass the required standard. The high strength and thermal insulation cement-bonded fiberboard from coconut meal corncob fibers and steel wire mesh has the possibility to construction as exterior building wall.
