Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highway Construction, Vol. 1: Instruction Paper Object of Roads. The object of a road is to provide a way for the transportation of persons and goods from one place to another with the least expenditure of power and expense. The facility with which this traffic or transportation may be conducted over any given road depends upon the resistance offered to the movement of vehicles. This resistance is composed of: (1) The resistance offered by the roadway, which consists of (a) friction between the surface of the road and the wheel tires; (b) resistance offered to the rolling of the wheels, occasioned by the want of uniformity in the road surface, or lack of strength to resist the penetrating efforts of loaded wheels, thus requiring the load to be lifted over projecting points and out of hollows and ruts, thereby diminishing the effective load the horse may draw to such as it can lift. This resistance is called resistance to rolling or penetration; (c) resistance due to gravity called grade resistance; (2) The resistance offered by vehicles, termed axle friction; (3) Resistance of the air.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
