Pave the ground, path or roads with reusable material.
By this to save time, work and to avoid using too much cement due to frequent digging and repaving the ground. Actually it costs much less than expected..it's because the material is actually not changed a lot but just construct in another way

  • i don't think it's a good idea because the materials are not very tuf very good to not braek if some truck roll on the top of it

    but this idea is really great it just need some improvement

  • the thing under the structure besides the locks and frames is soil, once it's fail and just replace a new one and no serious accident due to such event as soil support the plates

  • Actually it costs much less than expected..it's because the material is actually not changed a lot but just construct in another way

  • What about ventilation?

  • holes and edges with spaces are able for ventilation and for rain pilot

  • Wow, looks mighty expensive. But sure would save a lot of headaches.

  • yes!...save headaches and a lot money afterwards

see all

  • maybe you could get it down to 10".plus a topping slab...with a lot of steel reinforcing (expencive...in material and labor) the piece of statics you are over looking is the fact that roads bear directly onto soil at every square inch. your idea spreads all of the load to 2 edges decreasing the force distribution dramatically. also, there is no fail safe...a pot hole is annoying, but if this system fails, the entire road falls through!...so a larger safety factor must be introduced.

  • Interesting concept.

  • Hi. Tunnels would be even more efficient (nothing to open/block). If large enough, you could even use them for circulation (pedestrians, and slow bikes/trains), notably when the outside climate is too harsh. Well, this is already used, in some cities, at least for some areas (in sewers, subways, or underground streets -in some very hot/cold countries). Anyway, this is only half the idea. The other half, is using this kind of system, for everything, inside buildings. Bye.

  • Good luck

  • just is replyed to

    "elemeno23". i think the idea is #1 great indeed

  • are you sure it's 12inches? i think 5 inches is enough as the force is transferred to the soil other support under the cement

  • I think the initial cost of implementing this may be more expansive than traditional roads, but the money you save on road repair and underground utility repairs would more than make up for it.

    They must of tore up route 106 near were I live about a dozen times in 5 years. This would of saved them money, and saved commuters from traffic headaches...

    ahh I'm rambling now...

    but ya I love it.. #1 so far....

  • OMG I had this same idea. You beat me to it. But ya this is my favorite idea on all the youtube videos I've seen so far. In distant second is the one were people grow plants on the roofs of skyscrappers.
