Tiivistelmä
This project was carried out at Juurikantie 10 B 3, 78300 Varkaus, Finland. For korjausrakentamiisessa as Oy under the supervision of Tapio Toivanen the client of the project and this was done during the summer 2011 from May 2nd 2011 – July 29th 2011.
The aims and objectives of the project were based on interlocking concrete paving stone in general which includes: the installation process of the concrete paver with the pattern chosen by the client (stretcher bond), modification and development idea for the concrete paver mold to improve the product.
A general description and history of concrete paving stones is provided, as well as detailed discussions of the design and construction techniques used for the project. The current ASTM of engineers guide specification for the construction of concrete stones pavements is provided and followed during the installation. By monitoring the performance of the concrete stone pavement for the first three months, it was determined that the design and installation methods demonstrated by this study were valid. After a few months of service, the concrete stone pavement continues to perform satisfactorily under daily tracked footpath traffic. Additional recommendation section and demonstration projects are proposed to validate the use of concrete stone pavement on airfield and port facilities.
The idea of developing the concrete paver’s mold is to improve the concrete paver by minimizing the materials used for the production and by keeping quality constant which lead to reduction in cost of production and it will be advantageous to the manufacturing companies. The idea suggested has been discussed in this report with full details of cross sectional diagram which gives a full explanation about the improvement idea and is to achieve a durable, reliable and nice aesthetic view for installed interlocking concrete paving stone.
