When compared with use in other parts of the world, the use of interlocking concrete pavements in North America is a rather new development. As a result, little information about their performance is available to verify or calibrate existing design methods or develop new ones. Toward overcoming this limitation, the performance of interlocking concrete pavements at three sites was evaluated. Record searches along with field investigations--deflection testing, visual condition surveys, and transverse profile surveys--were conducted as part of this effort. A brief description of each site is provided and the field and office data obtained, along with the interpretation of these data, are summarized. Particular emphasis is placed on the performance of these pavements in terms of structural capacity, distresses, and rut depths. However, other performance considerations for interlocking concrete pavements are also discussed.
