T1 - Multilayer concrete pavers - solutions for the mitigation of the urban heat island effect T2 - fib Symposium Stockholm 2012 'Concrete structures for a sustainable community' (Proceedings) N2 - The large scale application of self-cooling concrete pavers is a future-oriented approach to reduce the urban heat island effect in inner-city areas. Making use of evaporation enthalpy, these new pavements counterbalance the absorption of solar radiation and the subsequent transfer of heat to the surrounding environment. The concrete pavers consist of a permeable top-layer and a storage layer. As the different requirements of these layers demand different concrete mixtures they are developed and optimised for their respective functions. This paper presents some results of the concrete mixture design and Solutions that combine a sufficient compressive strength as well as good water transportation properties for the face concrete layer.
