520			_aThis research project presents concrete paving blocks with anahaw petiole fiber as an additional component. This study aims to determine the effect of anahaw petiole fiber in concrete paving blocks through experimental investigation to improve its physical and mechanical properties. The researchers utilized four (4) various mixture designs with a ratio of 1:6 of cement and sand and 0%, .1%, 2%, and .3% of anahaw petiole fiber cut into 1cm length for each mix design. To determine the effectiveness of anahaw petiole fiber in concrete paving blocks, this research study conducted compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption test, and slump test based on the standards from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). After the curing period of 7, 14, and 28 days, the specimens undergo testing and evaluation to determine their effect on the properties of concrete paving blocks. The test results showed that all the samples met the ASTM standard, and it was determined that the more fiber percentage added to the mixture, the more compressive strength and flexural strength increased. However, the water absorption decreases when more percentage of anahaw fibers is added. Concrete Paving blocks were evaluated and assessed by evaluators and coincided with using anahaw petiole fiber as an additional component in concrete paving blocks to enhance their physical and mechanical properties. Researchers recommend using more than .3% of anahaw petiole fiber in the mix design for its better workability and to apply color and use different designs of paving blocks to enhance its appearance.
