Book Description
Interlocking concrete block pavements combine the advantages of concrete pavements with those of asphalt concrete pavements. Individual concrete blocks have a high stiffness and resistance to spills and deicing chemicals while the pavement system is flexible and is not susceptible to thermal cracking as with asphalt concrete pavements. While there has been extensive use of interlocking concrete block pavements for pedestrian and recreational areas in North America, their use for residential and municipal roadways significantly lags behind compared to their use in Europe and South Asia. This paper outlines the structural design of interlocking concrete block pavements for roadway design using an adaptation of the 1993 AASHTO Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures. Example pavement structures for a variety of subgrade, traffic and base conditions are provided along with their sensitivity to changes in design inputs. Finally, the use of the presented design matricies is shown through a series of case studies. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211426.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
NACTO's Urban Bikeway Design Guide quickly emerged as the preeminent resource for designing safe, protected bikeways in cities across the United States. It has been completely re-designed with an even more accessible layout. The Guide offers updated graphic profiles for all of its bicycle facilities, a subsection on bicycle boulevard planning and design, and a survey of materials used for green color in bikeways. The Guide continues to build upon the fast-changing state of the practice at the local level. It responds to and accelerates innovative street design and practice around the nation.

Book Description
Pavements are the most ubiquitous of all man-made structures, and they have an enormous impact on environmental quality. They are responsible for hydrocarbon pollutants, excess runoff, groundwater decline and the resulting local water shortages, temperature increases in the urban "heat island," and for the ability of trees to extend their roots in
