Includes bibliography:
This study assesses the potential of glass fiber-reinforced concrete (GFRC) for
enhancing the durability and strength of tactile paving blocks. A primary focus is placed
on advocating for standardized installation and design practices in the context of tactile
paving, emphasizing the study's relevance to improving navigational aids for individuals
with visual impairments in public spaces. The methodology involves incorporating waste
marble powder into concrete mix designs, adhering to ASTM standards for rigorous
testing. Fifteen specimens with distinct mix designs undergo assessments of physical
properties, including water absorption and slump tests. Sixty paving block samples
undergo varying curing periods, followed by evaluations of mechanical properties like
compressive strength and skid resistance, all in accordance with ASTM guidelines. This
rigorous approach ensures standardized testing procedures. Results reveal key insights into
the effectiveness of different mix designs. Mix 3, with 25% waste marble powder and 75%
sand with AR Glass Fiber, emerges as the most suitable and economical option, displaying
superior workability and strength. Mix 4, with a 50-50 ratio of waste marble powder and
sand with AR Glass Fiber, demonstrates noteworthy skid resistance. These findings
underscore the practical implications of Mix 3, offering a promising solution for crafting
durable tactile paving blocks and contributing valuable insights to the advancement of
navigational aids for visually impaired individuals in public spaces.
