Abstract. Paving block pavement is already widely used in Indonesia. Materials made of concrete paving blocks are easy to make and easy to implement. Currently the manufacture of paving blocks SNI 03-0691-1996 refers to a method that consists of a mixture of cement, sand/gravel: water. Our research uses bamboo pieces of waste material as a substitute for gravel. Comparison of the composition of the bamboo pieces that are used to dry conditions weighing 10 kg, 20 kg and 30 kg. Based on compressive strength testing performed at the age of 7, 14 and 28 days can be known ability paving block receives compressive strength. The research using bamboo fiber material at 28 days had compressive strength 171 kg/cm 2 , 190 kg/cm 2 , and 199 kg/cm 2 . While using bamboo fiber material and fly ash at 28 days have compressive strength 231 kg / cm 2 , 176 kg/cm 2 , 252 kg/cm 2 . Test results meet the quality of type C, D and the use of bamboo waste as aggregate paving can support green infrastructure in the future.

The paving block is part of pavement system that is widely used by people in Indonesia. Paving blocks are common in urban and rural communities. Paving blocks are very easy to make and easy to apply. Standard way of making a paving block based on SNI 03-0691-1996 method is a mixture of cement, sand/gravel and water. Excessive use of natural materials has an impact on the sustainability of the natural environment. This problem can be solved with various innovations without having to reduce the quality of paving and the pavement itself. Wiwoho, M. S., et. al., [1][2] has conducted preliminary research using bamboo materials instead of aggregates. Whilst Bamboo trees are fast-growing plants and are widely used as merely buffer buildings. So, Bamboo waste materials have not been used optimally enough. The methodology used is that unused bamboo materials being cut in to the size of the required model. The use of bamboo material as a mixture in paving block has adjusted the size, and its composition. The result of this research is that paving blocks made from bamboo trees can meet SNI 03-0691-1996 standard with D quality. Thus, paving blocks can meet eligibility requirements, reasonably enough.
