    This document analyzes whether cobblestone pavements can be constructed using recycled materials. It discusses studies that have replaced traditional aggregates in cobblestones with recycled construction debris and demolition waste, finding they can replace up to 50% of aggregates without significantly affecting mechanical properties. Additionally, a study adding corn cob leaf fibers to cobblestones found it improved compression and rupture resistance compared to traditional cobblestones. In conclusion, recycled materials like construction waste and corn cob fibers show potential for use in cobblestone pavements as sustainable and economically viable alternatives to traditional materials.

    ¿CAN COBBLESTONE PAVEMENTS BE CONSTRUCTED WITH RECYCLED MATERIAL?

    Due to the rapid development of urbanization and infrastructure, the use of cobblestones has increased
    considerably since they are concrete pieces used for the construction of pavements, urban vehicular
    roads, markets, residential areas, pedestrian traffic, sidewalks, gardens, public squares, among others.
    These are units made with cement, sand, water, and other natural materials.

    The general objective of this document is to analyze the mechanical behavior of the cobblestone using
    non-traditional materials such as corn cob leaf shavings and debris obtained on site, which turns out to
    be a high-quality and environmentally friendly product.

    Nowadays, there is a lot of different research and articles related to the use of various recycled materials
    to make cobblestone blocks. For example, China produced a total of 2,360 tons of construction and
    demolition waste (CD&D) in the last decade and only 5% of this debris was reused, so an increasing
    number of countries are looking for a use for this material. [1]In this order of ideas, a study was carried
    out at the Pontificia Javeriana University of Cali regarding the use of this RC&D, specifically the use of
    recycled aggregates from old cobblestone blocks for the creation of new ones. The conclusions of this
    study show that replacing 50% of the weight in the fine and coarse aggregate fractions of the concrete
    with recycled aggregate did not significantly affect its mechanical behavior. [2]

    Another example of study occurs in India, where the authorities are increasingly prohibiting the use of
    raw materials because the availability of raw materials is decreasing for the construction industry.
    Studies have been conducted regarding density, compressive strength, water absorption, absorption
    resistance and ultrasonic pulse velocity, where it was concluded that coarse RC&D can replace 45% of
    coarse natural aggregate (NCA) and fine RC&D can replace 40% of river sand. [3]

    Something noteworthy in both studies is that these new cobblestones made from recyclable materials
    perform successfully in the face of relatively high absorption, but exhibit low wear resistance and further
    research is recommended for these variables.

    There are other types of materials considered as industrial waste resulting from various production
    activities, which are currently being proposed as an alternative to the use of aggregates in order to
    reduce both the environmental impact of these waste products and construction costs. An example of
    this is the corn cob leaf fiber, which is normally burned, releasing gases such as carbon monoxide; In
    Ecuador, tests are being carried out to add this fiber to the aggregates traditionally used for the creation
    of pavers, having determined in a prototype of ecological cobblestones that the addition of corncob leaf
    fiber provides better resistance to compression and rupture with a value of 24.54 Mpa (250.25kg/cm2 ).
    [4]

    In conclusion, it was determined that the addition of corn cob leaf shavings improves aspects of the
    mechanical behavior such as resistance to compression and breakage. The water absorption rate is
    better than traditional pavers since it is going to be a prototype of ecological pavers, in the same way, it
    happens with the crushing of debris obtained from construction (mortars, bricks, and concrete), they
    have a good performance for the application in cobblestones improving mechanical and economical
    aspects.
