  • Abstract:
  • This paper does an appraisal of the performance evaluation of an interlocking concrete block pavement incorporating waste materials such as coconut fibers and construction and demolition waste and examines their suitability against asphalt pavement for light traffic urban road use. There is an emphasis on mechanical behavior (mixture proportions and their constituents) pavement structure and thermal sustainability (heat island phenomenon) control asphalt paver blocks of contaminant loading to infiltrates in relation to infiltrate permeability and Life Cycle Assessment. After a comprehensive pavement performance analysis, concrete block pavement was the most promising option because it was about thirty-three to forty-four percent low in maintenance cost, cooler by a temperature of between 2.2 and 15 degrees Celsius and more porous by 0.4 cm/s to 0.6 cm/s than asphalt pavement thus lowering expenditure enhancing drainage and thermal comfort to people. On the other hand, asphalt pavement was about 35% cheaper during the construction stage (primarily resulting from energy expenditures), and it had a 32% lower nitrogen oxide concentration. The paper revealed both drawbacks and advantages of the two types of pavements. The further stage of the research should be concentrated on integrating such factors into wider area decision making process for making selections between the options.
