|
In many parts of the world Interlocking Concrete Pavement (ICP) is rapidly gaining popularity for roads, airports and industrial pavements. The history of ICP starts in 19th Century when paving stones were used in European countries for roads construction serving as footpaths and tracks for steel-wheeled vehicles. The use of small stone elements to create a hard surface for roads or pavements is an ancient tradition dating back to Greek and Roman times. The use of ICP occurred in post war Holland in 1940‘s as a replacement for clay brick streets. ICP was introduced in North America in the mid-1970s and have been successfully used in many pavement applications. There are a wide range of ICP applications including city streets, driveways, crosswalks, sidewalks, parking areas, ports, container terminals, and airports. |
