Recently, the interlocking concrete block pavement has been extensively used in many countries as an alternative to concrete and asphalt pavements. It has become a good choice for paving of parking areas, pedestrian walks, traffic intersections, and roads. The abrasion resistance of concrete pavement is defined by its ability to resist being worn away by friction and rubbing. The compressive strength and the aggregate type are two important factors that affect the abrasive behavior of concrete. In this study, the natural coarse aggregate was replaced by Electrical Arc Furnace Slag (EAFS) in order to improve mechanical properties of concrete pavement blocks. The effect of different mixing ratios of EAFS on abrasion resistance, compressive strength, and water absorption is evaluated. Abrasion and other requirements for interlocking concrete pavers are evaluated according to ASTM standards. Results suggested that EAFS is a good alternative to the normal available aggregates.
