AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing paving technologies face challenges in supporting high traffic loads while maintaining permeability and reducing urban heat islands, often requiring specialized knowledge and materials.
Method used
A paving stone or slab design featuring a base with load-joint locking and displacement prevention means, combined with a head that forms a surface joint with a wider joint width than the load joint, allowing for increased water absorbency and evaporation.
Benefits of technology
The design enables paved surfaces to support high traffic loads up to BK 3.2, while enhancing water evaporation and mitigating urban heat islands, thus promoting a healthier urban climate.

Abstract
A paving stone or paving slab, comprising a base, which is provided with a load-joint locking and displacement prevention means and has a multiplicity of base side faces and a head, which is arranged on the base and has a head upper side and a multiplicity of head side faces, the head on its head upper side having a smaller periphery in horizontal section than a nominal-dimension-based periphery of the base and the head side faces being designed such that, in the laid state of the paving stone or the paving slab, they form, together with a head side face of an adjacent identical or similar paving stone or identical or similar paving slab, a surface joint with a surface-joint width which is the same as or larger than a load-joint width of a load joint between bases of adjacent identical or similar paving stones or identical or similar paving slabs, the joint axes of the load joint and of the surface joint lying one on top of the other in the polysurface and the load joint and the surface joint being connected to one another, and a paved surface or block paving composed thereof.
