Abstract

The continuous demand for improved construction materials has encouraged the exploration of alternatives capable of enhancing the performance of conventional concrete. In the present study, an experimental investigation was carried out to compare the behavior of bitumen–hybrid concrete blocks with that of standard M30 grade concrete blocks. The study focuses on evaluating the influence of incorporating bitumen as a partial replacement for cement on key mechanical properties. Concrete specimens were prepared using standard materials, while the hybrid mix was developed by introducing a controlled proportion of bitumen to modify the binding characteristics. The performance of both types of blocks was assessed through a series of laboratory tests, including compressive strength, load-bearing capacity, and shear strength tests conducted under controlled conditions.
