Increasing traffic requires durable and low-noise road surfaces. Urban residents complain about excessive traffic noise that leads to an unhealthy environment. Understanding techniques to produce durable, low-noise pavement has led to the development of rubberized concrete block pavement (RCBP) and rubberized asphalt concrete pavement (RACP). The chapter examines morphology and chemical properties of waste tyre rubber using FESEM, XRF, and TGA/DTA. Authors discuss characteristics of RCPB and RACP and conclude application of RCBP and RACP can lower traffic noise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
