Structural Design of Interlocking Concrete Pavement for Municipal Streets and Roadways

Interlocking concrete pavers can provide a durable and effective pavement system, but, as with any pavement, proper design, construction, and maintenance procedures are required. This standard, prepared by the ASCE Structural Design of Interlocking Concrete Pavement Committee, establishes guidelines for developing appropriate pavement structures for various traffic and subgrade conditions. It applies to paved areas subject to applicable permitted axle loads and trafficked up to 10 million 80-kN equivalent single axle loads (ESALs). The standard guideline provides preparatory information for design, key design elements, design tables for pavement equivalent structural design, construction considerations, applicable standards, definitions, and best practices.
