 This lesson introduces and then tests the viewer on the variables that must be considered when using segmental pavements to support pedestrian and vehicular loads on municipal streets. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the following four variables are critical to consider:
 The successful transferal of any vertical load through a segmental paved area requires the incorporation of three principles. These principles must be utilized when installing open grid as well as solid interlocking pavers. It is also important to note that all three principles are equally important. 3 Principles of Vertical Load Transfer
A Guide for Design Integration of Concrete Pavers, Anton C. Harfmann, AIA; Gary E. Day, RA.
 When it comes to permeable paver design, several factors go into making a functional system. One must size the system appropriately taking rainfall, infiltration rates, available area, void space, layer depth, and time all into consideration. This lesson will introduce you to all those critical factors in these three lesson components:
 It is the goal of this guide to improve the design of the paved plane of the built environment by expanding the level of knowledge about concrete pavers. This will be accomplished through the organizing of information and support material for both the instructor and the students.
