Bible | Pavement It was the custom of the Roman governors to erect their tribunals in open places, as the market-place, the circus, or even the highway. Pilate caused his seat of judgment to be set down in a place called "the Pavement" (John 19:13) i.e., a place paved with a mosaic of coloured stones. It was probably a place thus prepared in front of the "judgment hall." (See GABBATHA.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

Pavement was one of the key American indie-rock bands of the 1990s, known for its oblique, original style and - at first anyway - for its influential 'lo-fi' recording quality.The band formed in Stockton, California in 1989 as a studio project of guitarists and vocalists Stephen Malkmus and Scott Kannberg, known originally only as "S.M." and "Spiral Stairs". Their debut EPs Slay Tracks (1933-1969), Demolition Plot J-7 and Perfect Sound Forever were recorded at the studio of drummer Gary Young and consisted of lo-fi songs highly influenced by The Fall.
Around 1992 they became a full-time band, with the addition of bassist Mark Ibold and extra percussionist Bob Nastanovich; most of their subsequent songs were written by Malkmus, with a consistent minority coming from Kannberg. Their debut album Slanted and Enchanted appeared in this year and became an indie classic, although Pavement remained more or less a cult band despite the enthusiastic reviews. In particular, songs like the emotional "Summer Babe" and the catchy, witty "Trigger Cut" (both singles) helped make this one of the most influential early '90s guitar records.
After the release of the Watery, Domestic EP, drummer Young was replaced by Steve West. Leaving behind the lo-fi ethic, if not the obliquity, they released the excellent Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain in 1994, a record with much more of a pop tradition than the first album. In particular, the single "Cut Your Hair", in the band's closest brush with the mainstream, briefly became an MTV hit. Another song which earned the band attention was "Range Life" (also a single), not so much for its melodic country feel but for a lyric appearing to bait Pavement's contemporaries the Smashing Pumpkins.
Perhaps in reaction to this success, or to the harsh treatment they had received on the 1994 Lollapalooza tour, Pavement's next record was the much more difficult Wowee Zowee (1995). The album's eighteen tracks, which contained no obvious singles (although two were released), covered a bewildering variety of styles from grunge ("Flux=Rad") to country ("Father to a Sister of Thought") to art-noise (countless moments), and the critical press appeared somewhat bemused. With hindsight, however, the record - which is by far the band's most complex - is generally seen as one of their best.
1997's Brighten the Corners was a mellower and more focused record which combined the best elements of the preceding two albums, particularly on the catchy singles "Stereo" and "Shady Lane" and the unusually bleak "Fin". The album also sold somewhat better than before, although Pavement were never very commercially successful.
It was at about this time that the band started to fragment, with band members starting to focus more on other musical projects or on raising a family. However the band remained in good spirits and took the time to continue touring and release an EP, Pacific Trim, beside the album.
The break-up was delayed until 1999, with the relase of their final album Terror Twilight. The eleven songs, all written by Malkmus, brought Pavement's witty and oblique style into the context of folk-rock, and the album is by far their gentlest and most emotionally direct. Although markedly different from the others it was easily of the same quality, and ballads like "Major Leagues" and "Spit on a Stranger" rank among the band's best songs.
The band finally split at the end of the decade: at a gig in London, Malkmus compared the experience of being in a band to being handcuffed, and it gradually became clear afterwards that this was to the band's final performance. Stephen Malkmus moved to Portland, Oregon and has now embarked on a solo career with a band called the Jicks, and has also been involved for many years with the Silver Jews. Scott Kannberg has released material with his new band, Preston School of Industry.

In American English pavement is the hard material on the surface of roads and paths. In British English pavement is usually taken to mean a footpath next to a road, the same as sidewalk in American English. Hard-surfaced roads are often referred to as paved roads, although metalled road is still used to some degree in England. Common modern paving materials are asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete.Asphalt concrete has been widely used since 1920-1930, though in ancient times asphalt was already used for road-building. The viscous nature of the asphalt binder allows asphalt concrete to sustain significant plastic deformation, although fatigue from repeated loading over time is the most common failure mechanism. Most asphalt pavements are built on an imported gravel base which is generally at least as thick as the asphalt layer, although some 'full depth' pavements are built directly on the native subgrade. In areas with very soft or expansive subgrades such as clay or peat, thick gravel bases or stabilization of the subgrade with Portland cement or lime can be required.
Portland cement concrete pavements are typically stronger and longer lasting than asphalt concrete pavements, however they have a higher initial cost and are more difficult to repair. They are also generally noisier and less smooth. Concrete pavements can be either reinforced or non reinforced. Non reinforced pavements will typically have joints at a 5 meter interval. Reinforced concrete pavements can have a much longer joint spacing, or no built-in joints at all. Vertical misalignment of the joints, known as joint faulting, can be caused by differential settlement of the slabs and is a major source of driver annoyance. A common failure mode of concrete pavements is loss of support of the slab edges or corners due to erosion of the foundation material. If this condition is caught before it leads to breakup of the slab, support can be restored by filling the void with grout or foam in a process known as 'mud jacking' or 'slab jacking'.
Pavers, generally in the form of pre-cast concrete blocks are often used for aesthetic purposes, or sometimes at port facilities that see long-duration pavement loading. Pavers are rarely used in areas that see high-speed vehicle traffic.
Brick, cobble and wood plank pavements were once common in urban areas throughout the world, but due to their high manual labor requirements they are typically only maintained for historical reasons. Likewise, macadam and tarmac pavements can still sometimes be found buried underneath asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete pavements, but are rarely constructed anymore.
As pavements primarily fail due to fatigue, the damage done to a pavement increases exponentially with the axle load of the vehicles traveling on it. Heavily loaded trucks can do more than 10,000 times the damage done by a normal passenger car. Although tax rates for trucks are higher than those for cars in most countries, they are generally not high enough to make up for this discrepancy.
Several pavement design methods have been developed to determine the thickness and composition of pavement required to carry predicted traffic loads for a given period of time. Among these is the Shell Pavement design method.
