Structural Design of Interlocking Concrete Block Pavements

Beschreibung

This book focuses on the structural design of Interlocking Concrete Block Pavement (ICBP) including application, analysis, design, construction, and the fundamental design concept of ICBP backed by case studies to demonstrate long- term performance of ICBP. It helps to draw conclusions regarding the various geometric properties that must be applied to achieve the performance of ICBP.

Features:

Promotes the use of ICBP in the construction of pavements.

Provides a comprehensive overview of concrete block paving.

Discusses specifications from codes like ASCE 58- 16, ASTM, BS and IRC codes and datasets online.

Includes chapters on choosing the materials and designing the type and the shape of the concrete block and the thickness of all layers of the pavement.

Lists appropriate stipulated values for the various geometric properties.

Aids in understanding the history and comprehensive application of ICBP.

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in pavement and civil engineering.
