ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Architectural or decorative pavement having thin decor- ative pavers or "titles" made of or selected from known materials, from metal and impregnated wood to natural stone to clay or cement- itious tiles, are bonded to the upper surface of a sand and cement (and latex, if desired) detting bed before the bed takes its initial set. "Thin" pavers are less than 1-1/4" thick. Stronger materials in these pavers lend themselves to minimum thickness in small to medium sizes. Thin pavers of weaker materials require maximum thickness in large to medium sizes. The pavers are placed in rows and designs as may be pleasing with adjacent side edges spaced apart and forming gaps all around the perimeter of each paver. While the bed and bond are both green, vertical cuts are made through and below the gaps and through the bond cost and appreciably into the setting bed all around the whole peri- meter of each paver. The setting beds are supported on approp- riate bases or other supporting means. After the paving is cured the cuts in the setting bed create a stress line below which destructive forces exerted on the finished pavement are concentrated to vertical downward extensions of the cuts to the full depth of the bed, and form, in effect, whole,separate, monolithic fractured-out pavement blocks which may suffer bodily displacement while preserving the integrated pavers whole and intact. The cuts into the setting bed, or the cuts and subjacent cracks comprise by their numbers and proximity, expansion and control joints.
