The following calculation is used to size the stone storage bed (reservoir) used as a base course. It is assumed that the footprint of the stone bed will be equal to the footprint of the pavement. The following equations are derived from the ICPI Manual <ref>Smith, D. 2006. Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements; Selection, Design, Construction, Maintenance. 3rd Edition.

===To calculate the total depth of the foundations (all aggregate layers)===
===To calculate the maximum total depth of all aggregate layers needed for pavement support and reservoir storage===
The equation for the depth of the stone foundation (''d<sub>f, max</sub>'', mm) is as follows:
The equation for the depth of the stone reservoir (''d<sub>r, max</sub>'', mm) is as follows:
<math>d_{f, max}=\frac{\left[\left ( RVC_{T}\times R \right )+ RVC_{T}-\left(f'\times t\right )\right]}{n}</math>
<math>d_{r, max}=\frac{\left[\left ( RVC_{T}\times R \right )+ RVC_{T}-\left(f'\times t\right )\right]}{n}</math>
