The concept of Interlocking Pavers dates
backs to the Roman idea of interlocking tight fitting cut stones set on
a well-compacted surface.
If you are wondering whether this idea has stood the test of time, the
answer is "Yes".
The modern version concrete pavers, has been extensively used by Americans
and Europeans. Interlocking pavements are made of discrete units. When
assembled into a pavement structure they form a load shedding system.
It is not the shape of the pavers that imparts the interlock. The key
to interlocking pavers is the sand filled joints. They distribute the
applied load vertically and horizontally through shear and interlock.
In India too, the trend has caught on, and Interlocking pavers are now
used in numerous residential, commercial, industrial, petrol pumps, airports,
shopping malls and projects.
