English term or phrase: amount of pavement
During transport, however, thermal loss and mechanical segregation may occur, which, in turn, adversely affects the quality of the pavement.

Advantageously a plurality of the portable paving mix containers may be placed on a paving surface at spaced intervals, wherein the spaced intervals are dimensioned according to an amount of pavement formed by the paving mix of the portable paving mix containers. Advantageously, in a preferred arrangement, the spaced intervals may be dimensioned to precisely correspond to an amount pavement formed by the paving mix of the portable paving mix containers.

neutral  Tony M: I suspect Asker's real problem is with the term 'pavement' in this specific technical context.

neutral  Tony M: This seems to be some kind of 'mix', so probably not individual paviors.
33 mins
  -> C'est la largeur du joint qui donne le nombre de pavés au m²
agree  mchd: oui, nombre de pavés
45 mins
  -> merci
disagree  FX Fraipont (X): a paving machine/paver c'est une épandeuse d'asphalte, cela n'a rien à voir avec les pavés. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paver_(vehicle)

agree  Tony M: Well, assuming it IS indeed talking about asphalt paving; perhaps more generally 'revêtement'?

  -> thanks!
agree  Daryo: pretty obvious from the context: each portable paving mix container contains the volume of asphalt/paving mix necessary to cover the road up to the starting point of the section to be covered in asphalt from the next portable paving mix container.
