N2 - Concrete Paving Blocks (CPBs) are generally used in pavement structures. Quite often there are differences in the test result characteristics of cube and block-shaped samples. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of differences in height by considering 60 samples from five different factories. The sample dimensions are 200 mm length and 100 mm width with varying heights of 60 mm, 80 mm, and 100 mm. The tests include water absorption, compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile splitting strength, skid resistance, and abrasion resistance. The results of the mortar content show no significant difference between the five sources. According to the findings, the weight loss value depends on strength, and tensile splitting strength is influenced by density, with higher density producing higher tensile splitting strength. It was also found that the compressive strength test method is more realistic when using cube-shaped samples, while beam-shaped samples are more suitable for identifying bending characteristics. Finally, it was shown that the flexural strength value is influenced by density.
