Abstract

<p>This article presents the data of the bulk density, compressive strength and flexural strength of lateritic paving tiles compounded with pulverized cow bones (PCB) as reinforcement, the data set are presented in three categories. Category A involves the mixture of laterite and PCB, category B involves the mixture of sharp sand and PCB, lastly, category C involves the mixture of laterite, sharp sand and PCB. The paving tiles were made using the casting method in a 200 × 100 × 60 mm mould, using 20, 15, 10% wt. Portland cement as a binder and cured for 28 days in a curing tank. The data provided will give useful information for predicting the mechanical properties of paving tiles at different PCB constituent percentage.</p>
