N2 - Concrete Paving Block (CPB) is known for its durability and strength, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications like roadways. However, the production of CPB however requires cement and natural aggregate, both of which have negative impact to environment. This study examines the potential of using by-products, specifically palm oil boiler ash (POBA) and palm oil clinker (POC), as substitute for cement and aggregate in the production of CPB. A total of 36 CPBs were prepared with 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of POBA and POC replacement. The materials properties and the compressive strength of CPB were measured. The results show CPBs of 10POBA+10POC has a potential to be used as CPBs in streets, sidewalks, and parking/garage. This alternative material could help reduce the environmental impact of CPBs production while still providing a durable and strong product.
