Pavement (architecture)
Pavement in construction is an outdoor floor or superficial surface covering. Paving materials include asphalt, concrete, stone such as flagstone, cobblestone, and setts, artificial stone, bricks, tiles, and sometimes wood. In landscape architecture pavements are part of the hardscape and are used on sidewalks, road surfaces, patios, courtyards, etc.
''Pavement'' comes from Latin ''pavimentum'' meaning a floor beaten or rammed down, through Old French ''pavement''.〔("Pavement", ''The Century Dictionary'' )〕 The meaning of a beaten down floor was obsolete before the word became English.〔"pavement, n." ''Oxford English Dictionary'' Second Edition on CD-ROM (v. 4.0) © Oxford University Press 2009〕
Pavement laid in patterns such as mosaics were commonly used by the Romans.
==Paver==
A paver is a paving stone, tile,〔"paver" def. 2. ''Oxford English Dictionary'' Second Edition on CD-ROM (v. 4.0) © Oxford University Press 2009〕 brick〔("Paving brick". The Free Dictionary.com ) accessed May 1, 2014〕 or brick-like piece of concrete commonly used as exterior flooring. In a factory, concrete pavers are made by pouring a mixture of concrete and some type of coloring agent into a mold of some shape and allowing to set. They are applied by pouring a standard concrete foundation, spreading sand on top, and then laying the pavers in the desired pattern. No actual adhesive or retaining method is used other than the weight of the paver itself except edging. Pavers can be used to make roads, driveways, patios, walkways and other outdoor platforms.
