Show Making Brick Pavements Noiseless With Filler Engineering knowledge and experience experi-ence have developed the modern brick pavement from a common clay brick laid on the natural soil to the vitrified vitri-fied brick with an asphalt filler laid on a concrete foundation with a sand hod between the foundation and brick surface. Tli is produces a pavement surface which can be made as near free from construction defects as is possible. Every step in the manufacture of the material and placing it into the pavement pave-ment is subject to correction before the next step is taken and thus insures in-sures against defects. Modern heavy truck traffic has introduced in-troduced an increased demand on pavements pave-ments due to the enormous shockwhieh It carries under its wheels. The vitrified vitri-fied brick pavement, made up of small units which are cushioned by the asphalt as-phalt filler In the Joints, absorbs this shock In summer as well as in winter win-ter weather. Furthermore, a smooth surface lessens the amount of shock and here again the vitrified brick pavement stands in the foreground, as its method of construction assures a smooth surface. The asphalt filler in the joints and a slight film of It on the surface creates a pavement which is noiseless. |
