Introduction
Advantages of ICBP
Mass production, ensures availability of block having consistent
quality and high dimensional accuracy
Good quality blocks ensures durable pavement when
constructed as per design and specification
ICBP tolerates higher deflections without structural failure, will
not get affected by thermal expansion and contraction
ICBP does not require curing and hence pavement can be put
into service immediately
Construction of pavement is labour intensive and requires very
few equipments.
The system provides ready access to underground utilities
without damage to pavement.
Maintenance of ICBP pavement is easy and simple
Use of coloured blocks facilitates permanent markings.
Low life cycle cost
Provides resistance to punching loads and horizontal shear
force caused by movement of heavy vehicles.
Limitations of ICBP
Quality control of block at the factory premises is
very much necessary
Any deviations of base course profile will get
reflected on ICBP. Hence proper supervision is
required.
High quality, graded coarse sand and joint filling
sand are essential for good performance
ICBP over unbound granular base course is
susceptible to the adverse effects of poor
drainage and will deteriorate faster
ICBP is not suitable for high speed roads
(Speeds over 60 Km/Hr)

Gap between the two blocks are not less than 2 mm and not
more than 4 mm. The blocks very popularly laid in three
patterns
