This study included the experimental production and investigation of the mechanicalproperties of paving tiles produced from a mixture of laterite, silica sand, pulverized cow bones,and cement. Empirical models of compressive and flexural strength were also developed andherein presented for the paving tiles. The maximum compressive strength of the paving tiles wereobtained for 20, 15, and 10% cement content as 5.05, 5.05 and 3.08 MPa, while the maximumflexural strength for similar values of cement content were obtained as 1.83, 1.21 and 0.26 MParespectively. The results indicate that there was no noticeable difference in the values of thecompressive strength at 20 and 15% cement content, while a sharp reduction of the mechanicalproperties was experienced as the cement content reduces from 15 to 10%. Recommendedcomposition for paving tiles with pulverized cow bones composite is cement, 15%; pulverized cowbones, 30%; laterite 35% and silica sand, 20% respectively. Sustainable production of paving tilesand a sustainable environment can, therefore, be enhanced by replacing granite constituent withwaste cow bones, which can easily be replicated by the empirical models herein developed.

To investigate the impact of alternative replacement of granite-particles in the production of interlocking tiles. Aggregate mixes of homogeneously mixed raw materials was used for production of experimental interlocking tiles. The mortar method was used for casting purposes. Produced interlocking tiles were cured and treated for twenty-eight days before the physical and mechanical tests were conducted. For improved mechanical strength, an optimum mix of granite particles to lateritic soil to silica sand of 2:1:1 is recommended for suitable replacement for granite particles in the production of interlocking tiles. A simple model that relates the granite particles/cement ratio to water/cement ratio for interlocking tiles was determined, with a coefficient of correlation and standard error of estimate of 0.85 and 0.65 respectively. The investigation had shown that cheaper and easily available raw materials, such as lateritic soil and silica sand may be used as suitable replacement for granite particles in the production of interlocking tiles with acceptable properties. Developed model that relates the granite particles/cement ratio to water/cement ratio for interlocking tiles would be very useful for control studies or production purposes.
