Reclaimed asphalt modified by crumb rubber-modified binder aroused great interest due to its advantage of using two waste materials without compromising the mechanical performance. Apart from economic and environmental benefits, many studies revealed that excellent characteristics could be obtained at some particular rubber reclaimed percents. In this study, a bond test was performed evaluate strength in dry condition. Twenty-four binders with various contents were prepared tested. The 24...

Interlocking concrete block pavers (ICBP) are manufactured using a semi dry mix and vibration compression applied by electrical or hydraulic machines to cast the blocks. Hence mixture characteristics differ from mixtures that we use for general purposes. When determining proportions design, several properties of need be considered. Maintaining required strength surface texture, producing mixes with optimum water content maintain green while avoiding slumping some challenges faced industry....

Asphalt, concrete and interlocking block paving (ICBP) are the most commonly used materials. Artificial pavements one of key factors for urban heat island effect. Due to high irradiance, ambient air temperature rises above human thermal comfort levels. Studies have shown that temperatures asphalt surfaces significantly higher than those ICBP pavements. Typically, blocks in public spaces generally by pedestrians. During daytime, surface walking on becomes very uncomfortable. The behaviour is...
