摘要: In some locations, the use of concrete block pavement (CBP) involves the combination of a very steep and storm-sensitive region with the consequent risk of high-velocity water flow on pavements. Under these conditions, and because of the special characteristics of CBP and its unknown response to high-velocity water flow, two problems must be addressed: (a) the danger of sand erosion from the bedding layer and the joints between the blocks, because of surface drainage and water flow, and (b) the danger of development of uplift forces from the downward water seepage. The cumulative effect of these two dangers may cause a gradual loss of support of the CBP, leading to total failure. CBP was tested under high-velocity water flow on a one-to-one scale, with definition of flow and failure mechanisms in the CBP and with the adoption of proper solutions. Five tests were performed in an experimental water flume, differing in type of bedding. Use of conventional sand bedding under continuous water-flow conditions was found to be inappropriate. Such bedding cannot provide the necessary stability for the CBP. However, the use of fine aggregate as bedding material ensured the stability of the CBP under continuous supercritical flow velocities and steep channel slopes. Excellent performance of the CBP was observed with the underlying fine aggregate bedding. The use of sufficiently coarse aggregate as bedding material is the proper engineering solution for preventing erosion and ensuring the absolute stability of a CBP under high water-flow velocities under supercritical conditions.
