Abstract: The purpose of this research is to make use of waste marble powder and shards from the marble business in Prankratai District, Kamphaeng Phet Province. by fabricating a paving block in the Uni Pave 11 x 22 x 6 cm shape. Investigate the physical qualities of the brick paving that is possible. It was discovered that the paving bricks with the highest mass ratio of mixture were the best test values are obtained when the ratio of cement to sand, marble powder, and marble flake is 0.5: 0.4: 0: 0.1 kg. It is 1.90 g/cm3 dense, 6.85\% water absorption rate, and has 34.06 MPa compressive strength. The use of cement as an adhesive agent between the mixture and the paving bricks increases the hardness of the paving bricks. Marble flakes increase the gaps within the brick, enhancing drainage and decreasing water absorption. The use of cement as an adhesive agent between the mixture and the paving bricks increases the hardness of the paving bricks. Marble flakes expand the gaps within the brick, enhancing drainage and decreasing water absorption. it is suitable for usage as a brick-paved pathway or decorative purposes.
