What is the use of interlocking pavers?
Pavers may be employed in any climate and might be walked on immediately upon compaction.Cracking, that is common with ancient asphalt and concrete pavements, isn't a difficulty with these interlocking concrete pavers as a result of the joints between the pavers.Interlocking concrete pavers are a versatile system and permit for movement.They're nearly indestructible as a result of the pavement system moves in unison with the earth's tendency to swell and contract over time, so avoiding any serious injury.
Why are modern concrete pavements no longer built with thickened edge?
Thickened edges are not normally required since the design is for free edge stresses.
Is cracking at joints acceptable after new pour of concrete?
Cracking at expansion joints is always acceptable and is the reason for the joint itself. There are two kinds of cracks, pretty ones and ugly ones! Ugly ones are random cracks where the concrete relieves itself from drying shrinkage in a random location within the slab of concrete which is normally not appealing to the eye. Expansion joints are placed at predetermined intervals within the slab where random cracks are weakened planes in locations where cracking is predicted prior to fresh concrete placement. All concrete shrinks when it dries, the larger the slab, the greater the overall shrinkage. When the tensile strength of drying shrinkage exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete, cracking will occur. Lets just hopes it cracks in a spot where we planned it instead of a location where didn't. By the way, joints should be cut at least 25% of the depth of the slab.
The difference between contraction joint and construction joint?
A construction joint in concrete jobs is a joint where a fully set and hard concrete joins a fresh concrete to make a joint. Normally, cracks would occur at this joint because concrete was not cast monolithic. A contraction joint is joint between two concrete edges so formed which allows minute movement between the two edges caused by heat or some other external forces. Usually, contraction joints are also referred to as expansion joints.

Why are there gaps between the slabs of concrete pavements?
There are 2 reasons for that. Reason one: They can be expansion joints. In the winter the pavement contracts and in the summer it expands. these joints are generally gaps that go the whole way threw the pavement. Generally these joints are filled with some sort of caulking to keep moisture from getting underneath the pavement. Reason two: They can be put there as joints for the concrete to crack. when sidewalks are made and other concrete pavements, they anticipate the concrete cracking, so they put in gaps that dont go all the way threw the depth of the concrete as a place for the concrete to crack and not be unsightly.
