Flooring- Wall Tiles, Bricks, & Paver Blocks Using Marble Waste

By substituting marble waste for both fine and coarse aggregates—depending on particle size distribution and packing density—we have been able to produce a denser, stronger, and more durable concrete mixture suitable for a variety of construction products. CSIR-CBRI has developed process know-how for recycling and utilization of solid wastes and slurry in making tiles, paver blocks, bricks and AAC blocks. The developed items meet the requirements of Indian Standard Specifications. Desirable physico-mechanical attributes of non-modular bricks, tiles, and paver blocks—including compressive strength, efflorescence, water absorption, flexural strength, and wear resistance—have been assessed. Based on these evaluations, the mix formulation has been refined to cater to various brick classes and both tile grades: general purpose and heavy-duty flooring. Additionally, paver blocks have been successfully produced across multiple strength grades, namely M30, M35, M40, and M50.

• Floor tiles- Light traffic loads & heavy traffic conditions
• Non-modular bricks- Commercial brick replacement
• Paver blocks- Non traffic to Heavy traffic conditions 
• AAC blocks- Infill material & brick replacement
