    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Provides guidance on the design of permeable pavements surfaced with: - concrete paving blocks manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1338; - concrete paving flags manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1339; - natural stone slabs manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1341; - natural stone setts manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1342; - clay pavers manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1344.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of BS 7533 gives guidance on the design of permeable pavements surfaced with:

    • concrete paving blocks manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1338;

    • concrete paving flags manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1339;

    • natural stone slabs manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1341;

    • natural stone setts manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1342; and

    • clay pavers manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1344. and laid in accordance with BS 7533-3.

    It applies to all pavements subjected to the usual road spectrum of axle loads up to 8 000 kg, including both highway pavements and light industrial pavements where the traffic is similar in character to highway vehicles.

    It specifically excludes heavy duty pavements with traffic and other applications such as aircraft pavements and those in ports and specialized industrial areas.
