Actually, the question is:
How much weight can the soil below the pavers hold?
The pavers are simply a top dressing. The stone, sand, sur-pack, or whatever is below the pavers is the thing that is doing the work. If the soil is soft, the pavers will sink under load. If it is firm, the pavers can hold quite a lot.

How much weight can a 5 concrete slab hold?
The strength will vary depending on the type of concrete, the base, and the presence or absence of steel or fiberglass reinforcing.
How much weight will a concrete driveway hold?
The amount of weight a concrete driveway will hold without doing damage would be determined on many factors. For instance, consolidated area of weight..ie.#'s per sq. foot, concrete strenght, amount of reinfocement in concrete, compaction of soil under concrete when placed, thickness of concrete, etc. Most driveways should be able to handle a concrete delivery truck if the drive way doesnt have any abrupt edges that truck must cross and the tires stay a reasonable distance from the edges..Hope this helped..and enjoy the pool if that is your project
How much weight can a square of concrete 1 meter on a side and 20 cm thick hold?
There are too many variables that are not quantified in the question to answer this. What kind of concrete? (There are different kinds.) Is the concrete reinforced? How is the square of concrete supported? What is the nature of the load and how is it distributed on the slab? We could go on.

How much weight can concrete hold before breaking?
The weight that concrete can hold before breaking depends on factors such as its composition, thickness, and the conditions it is exposed to. On average, concrete can typically withstand compressive strengths ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 pounds per square inch (psi) before failing. However, it is important to consult with a structural engineer to determine the specific load-bearing capacity for your particular application.

What are concrete forms what are they made of?
Concrete forms are devices used to hold concrete in a prescribed shape until it dries. They can be made out of anything strong enough to hold the weight in - many of them are made of plywood, but they've also been made out of steel, aluminum, other pieces of concrete (oil them and the new concrete will just pop out) and even just a hole in the ground.
