Abstract

This project has as objective to evaluate the interlocked block paving (pavers) with the addition of ash, bagasse from sugar cane and observe the changes in relation to the reference pavers. At the end of the study, the objective is to develop a new alternative for paving interlocked more economically and with the same performance as paving interlocked without the addition of alternative material.(AU)
