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 guideline has been prepared by the ASCE/T&DI Structural Design of Interlocking Concrete Pavement Standards Committee. It establishes guidelines for developing appropriate pavement structures for various traffi c and subgrade conditions. The overall goal of this standard guideline is to assist the industry and public by establishing structural design standards for interlocking concrete pavements.

concrete pavements. It is recognized that the trend in North America is towards the development and implementation of mechanistic-empirical design protocols. While efforts are underway by the interlocking concrete pavement industry to move towards adopting a mechanisticempirical design procedure, the required data to implement such a procedure is not yet available and therefore this standard guideline was developed based on the 1993 AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures (AASHTO 1993).

The development of this standard guideline is a result of a partnership between the Transportation and Development Institute of ASCE and the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. The organizations jointly encouraged expert volunteers to become a part of the standards committee that developed the standard guideline and supported the efforts of that committee. This committee comprises individuals from many backgrounds, including consulting engineering, research, design and manufacturing, education, government, and private practice.
