The paving block is part of pavement system that is widely used by people in Indonesia. Paving blocks are common in urban and rural communities. Paving blocks are very easy to make and easy to apply. Standard way of making a paving block based on SNI 03-0691-1996 method is a mixture of cement, sand/gravel and water. Excessive use of natural materials has an impact on the sustainability of the natural environment. This problem can be solved with various innovations without having to reduce the quality of paving and the pavement itself. Wiwoho, M. S., et. al., [1][2] has conducted preliminary research using bamboo materials instead of aggregates. Whilst Bamboo trees are fast-growing plants and are widely used as merely buffer buildings. So, Bamboo waste materials have not been used optimally enough. The methodology used is that unused bamboo materials being cut in to the size of the required model. The use of bamboo material as a mixture in paving block has adjusted the size, and its composition. The result of this research is that paving blocks made from bamboo trees can meet SNI 03-0691-1996 standard with D quality. Thus, paving blocks can meet eligibility requirements, reasonably enough. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
