PAVEMENTS COVERED FOR HEAT ISOLATION TO GET PEDESTRIAN THERMAL COMFORT
Civilization has been analyzed mostly with urbanization which coincides with the usage of stone and later concrete and steel in constructions. Nowadays we have been realized that construction materials used for houses, apartments, roads and pavements surrounding us create local microclimate which influences our living comfort. Local temperature increases due to asphalt roads and concrete pavements have recently been determined and they are remarkably effective in our everyday life. Usage of different types of aggregates in concrete mixtures to cast concrete pavement blocks might effective to decrease air temperature on the pavements. Therefore heat-resistant rocks were used to produce different sized aggregates where different plasters were produced from them to coat standard concrete pavement blocks. Pavement blocks plastered were then put under sun to test their surface temperatures. It was observed that heat-resistive materials used in plaster concretes influence heat distribution in the blocks and surface temperature of the concrete pavement blocks.
