Interlock is the word used to describe the frictional forces between paving units that prevent them from moving horizontally or vertically in relation to each other. Also, Interlock is defined as the inability of a concrete paver to move independently of its neighbors. This type of friction enables load transfer among the paving units.

1630s, "to be locked together," from inter- "between" + lock (v.). Related: Interlocked; interlocking. As a noun, attested by 1856.

an error-prevention mechanism that forces operations to occur in sequence, the first of which makes the second operation safer, such as a TV set that can’t be dismantled without first turning it off ( [..]

Interlock is the abbreviation of interlocking grip. In that kind of grip the little finger of one hand and the index finger of the other hand get interlocked with each other. This grip is especially requested to golf players with little hands, powerless wrists and weak forearms, because as the hands are kind of locked, golfers with those characteri [..]

The control of a device starting or stopping is dependent upon the action of another device.

A device actuated by the operation of some other device which it is directly associated, to govern succeeding operations of the same or allied devices. Note: interlocks may be either electrical or mechanical.

a device to prove the physical state of a required condition, and to furnish that proof to the primary safety control circuit.

The inability of pavers to move independently. When pavers are interlocked, there is frictional forces between them, which prevent them from moving alone. Interlocking allows the bearing of heavy loads to be dispersed throughout the pavement.
