Structural Design of Interlocking Concrete Block Pavements

The book focuses on the structural design of Interlocking Concrete Block Pavement (ICBP) and includes case studies to demonstrate long-term performance. It provides specifications from codes, discusses choosing materials and designing the type and shape of the concrete block, and lists appropriate stipulated values for geometric properties. It aids in understanding the history and comprehensive application of ICBP and is aimed at graduate students and researchers in pavement and civil engineering.

The Structural Design of Interlocking Concrete Block Pavement (ICBP) is the focus of this book, which includes application, analysis, design, construction, and the fundamental design concept of ICBP supported by case studies to demonstrate long-term performance. It assists in drawing conclusions regarding the various geometric properties that must be applied to achieve the performance of ICBP. The book 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 shape of the concrete block and the thickness of all layers of the pavement, lists appropriate stipulated values for the various geometric properties, and aids in understanding the history and comprehensive application of ICBP. It is aimed at graduate students and researchers in pavement and civil engineering.
