Test results indicate that by the addition of PPF by 0.3% and 0.4% it gives good results for abrasion resistance and flexural strength at 28 days respectively. In only both layers contain the polypropylene fiber (PPF) of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5 % in each mixes proportion by weight. In this paper represent the results of the concrete paver block with the mix proportion of 1:3 (Cement: dolomite powder) and polypropylene fibre with the different percentage rate in the top layer of paver block and 1:1:2:3.75 (Cement: Fine aggregate: Semi G rit: Quarry dust) in the bottom layer of paver block. Also it`s helpful to improve the life span of paver block.

In this study addition of polypropylene fibers in paver block to show the change in the Abrasion Resistance and Flexural Strength of paver blocks with compare to standard paver block and reduces the maintenance cost of paver block. For improving Abrasion Resistance and Flexural Strength of paver b lock this st udy is necessary. Paver block has low cost maintenance and easily replace with a newer one at the time of breakage. Also we can say that it is partial replacement of concrete pavement. The presently paver block is used in various applications like in street road and other construction places. published by seventh sense research group.
