| | + | *Open space between pavers (i.e. joint space) typically ranges between 5 and 15% of the total surface area. |
| | + | *ASTM No. 8 (5 mm dia.) crushed aggregate is recommended for fill material in the paver joints (typically HPB). |
| | + | *For narrow joint pavers, a smaller sized aggregate may be used. Narrow joints are required where pavement must be AODA compliant. |
