The effect of joint width between blocks in concrete block pavement
Jointing sand is the main component of concrete block pavement (CBP) that promotes load transfer between blocks. Often, when sands are available from various sources, it becomes a difficult task to judge the right source of sand. This paper presents the results of an experimental program, conducted...

| description | Jointing sand is the main component of concrete block pavement (CBP) that promotes load transfer between blocks. Often, when sands are available from various sources, it becomes a difficult task to judge the right source of sand. This paper presents the results of an experimental program, conducted to demonstrate a quick and simple technique, for selecting the right source of jointing sand for CBP. The optimum joint width between blocks is 3 mm. For joint widths less than the optimum, the jointing sand was unable to enter between blocks. A large amount of sand remained outside the joint sand heaps on the block surface |
