Assessment of Concrete Footpath Upheavals in Heatwaves
(Corresponding) Bradford M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Most concrete footpaths are cast without steel reinforcement and in segments between bituminous joints, with the joints intended to accommodate thermal expansions (and contractions) of the pavement. However, a combination of prolonged heatwave conditions and the ingress over time of material into...Read more
