<p>A paving block, particularly for use in constructing revetments, is configured so that a three-dimensional interlock is obtained between adjacent blocks. At least one face (1,21) of the block has an edge contour comprising alternate recesses (2, 3 etc.) and projections (4, 5 etc.). The side walls of the block comprise inclined faces (8b, 8d etc.) which, in one form of the block join the edges of the recesses and projections to the edges of the opposite face (18) of the block, which is rectangular. In another form of the block, the inclined faces (27a, 27b etc.) join the edges of the recess and projections to a rectangular contour (31) located midway between the two faces (21, 22) of the block. These blocks may be roped together to form a mat by cables (40) running between adjacent mats along the edges of the rectangular contours (31).</p> |
