The influence of block thickness on the performance of asphalt paving blocks

Asphalt paving blocks have been known in some places around the world, but there have been very limited research being conducted to assess the influence of block thickness on the structural performance of asphalt paving blocks. This study describes the experimental study to evaluate the performance...

Civil engineering (General) Asphalt paving blocks have been known in some places around the world, but there have been very limited research being conducted to assess the influence of block thickness on the structural performance of asphalt paving blocks. This study describes the experimental study to evaluate the performance and properties of asphalt paving blocks placed with different block thicknesses i.e., 70, 80 and 90 mm, respectively.
