Abstract
With the society's demand for landscape maintenance in the background, development of landscape paving technologies capable of adapting to low volume road in the field of pavement is anticipated. Among them, natural stone block pavement is a construction method which also matches a natural picturesque scenery by its unique texture. However, under the present circumstances, frequent repair is necessary due to driving of vehicles resulting in turn of spoiling the scenery and becoming uneconomical. This study were verified about the effect of insert alumina ball in the joint part with granular material in natural stone block pavement by laboratory tests and test construction. As a result, it was confirmed the effect which controlled the subsidence, inclination and movement of the stone block by insert for ball to the joint, and that this construction method have more excellent shock absorption and permeability than the existing construction method of mortar. In addition, we confirmed that a mixture of asphalt and sand has the effect on the outflow of the material from the joint.
