Edge Restraints for Interlocking Concrete Pavements
See CMHA Tech Note P AV-TEC-005— Cleaning, Sealing and Joint Sand Stabilization of Interlocking Concrete Pavement for more information. Elevations —When edge restraints are installed before placing the bedding sand and pavers, the restraints are sometimes used to control thickness when screeding the bedding sand.
Design Considerations Restraints are required along the perimeter of interlocking concrete pavements or where there is a change in the pave-ment material. For example, when a laying pattern changes direction, there may be a need for an edge paver to act as a restraint (Figure ). When a paver shape changes within an area of paver, the edge paver at the end of each pattern can serve as a ...

Concrete edge restraint , typically 6 inches deep by 6 inches wide, set at least 6 inches below the bottom of the paver. The detail is in CMHA Tech Spec 3 ( Edge Restraints for Interlocking Concrete Pavements ). Pre-cast concrete curbs, poured-in-place concrete beams, and existing curbs/building foundations all work where the structural performance is verified. Plastic or aluminum edging can be ...
PDF Edge Restraints For Interlocking Concrete Pavements
Introduction Edge restraints are an essential component of interlocking concrete pavements . Restraints hold the pavers tightly together, enabling consistent interlock of the units across the entire pavement . They prevent spreading of the pavers from horizontal forces from traffic. Edge restraints are designed to remain station-ary while receiving impacts during installation, from vehicles and ...
