Urban Transport Guidelines: Structural Design of Segmental Block Pavements for Southern Africa

The document is intended as a complete guideline for the design of segmental block pavements in South Africa. The structural design method may be used for both concrete and fired-clay blocks. Segmental block pavements are classified into specific areas of use and a catalogue of designs suitable for each of these areas is given. The importance of materials, design loads, environment and drainage and compaction in relation to design are discussed, and various practical aspects are considered.
