Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Construction of Roads and Pavements Since the publication of the first edition of The Construction of Roads and Pavements, considerable progress has been made in the field of highway engineering, especially with regard to the construction of rural highways. In the second edition, the errors and omissions of the first edition have been corrected so far as they have been noted and new material has been added where it was apparent that practice had really changed. However, the unsettled conditions that have recently prevailed in the highway field have made it very difficult to determine what was real progress and what was merely compromise construction due to abnormal conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highway Engineering: As Presented at the Second International Road Congress, Brussels, 1910 The object of the authors in writing this book was to render available to those interested in the progress of highway engineering the large mass of information relative to the construction and maintenance of roads and pavements which was presented by the various reporters and contributors at Brussels in 1910. The authors, fully appreciating the valuable knowledge which may be acquired by a close observance of the practice of highway engineering in the various countries of the world and believing that it is possible in many cases to profit by the successes and failures of others who have worked in similar fields and thus avoid costly duplication of experimental work and the waste of public and private funds through the adoption of methods which have resulted in unsatisfactory roads and pavements, wish to emphasize the fact that the subject of foreign practice has not received the attention it deserves by American engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete in Highway Construction: A d104-Book for Highway Engineers and Supervisors The development of manufacture and of agriculture, which require proper transportation facilities not only on the railroads but to the points of ship ment and distribution, has stimulated a widespread interest and called national attention to the necessity for better pavements and for highway constructions of a more permanent and durable character. This demand, as well as the necessity for reducing the expense of repairs incident to automobile traffic, has brought to the forefront the use of concrete to produce permanent construction, not only for sidewalks and pavements, but for highway structures, such as bridges, retaining walls, culverts, and the many smaller details, the repairs to which are continually vexing the City and Town Engineer and the Highway Commissioner. The purpose of the present volume, then, is to present to those in charge of street and highway construction and maintenance, examples of work which have been satisfactorily performed, and, further, to give drawings and designs made especially for The atlas Portland Cement Company, either as reproductions of existing structures, from drawings and photographs kindly furnished by the local authorities, or as original designs prepared by expert engineers at the request of the atlas Portland Cement Company.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education for Highway Engineering and Highway Transport: Report of the Regional Conference Held at University of Pittsburgh, Friday, November 26, 1920 This conference strongly recommends that universities and colleges offer courses in highway transport as their facilities will permit, and that at least 10 universities. Located in different geographical sections of the United States, offer short-period advanced courses covering the various phases of highway transport, and 4-year courses in highway transport engineering or highway transport options in 4-year collegiate courses. That the underlying principles of highways and highway transport, as well as the rules of the road, be taught in the grammar schools and high schools of the Nation. Among the first institutions to respond to the call of the Washington confer ence was the University of Pittsburgh, which at that time was completing a special highway-transport laboratory, in which the work in both highway engineering and highway transport is carried on under the same roof.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways Green Book: Third Annual Edition, 1922 O combine in one volume a compendium of the outstanding highway activities of the past year and a forecast of the future is the Object of the Highways Green Book. Doubtless the most noteworthy highway achievement of 1921 was the passage of the Federal Highway Act which for the first time confines Federal aid road funds to a definite system of inter state and inter-county roads comprising not over seven per cent of the total mileage in each State and which at the same time pro vides at the suggestion Of President Harding, a plan by which these roads are to be adequately maintained. Thus the most im portant milestone in our highway history has been passed. Unusual progress was made last year in the matter Of highway research and highway engineering and transport education. For ward legislation in a number of States looking to more efficient administration of highway affairs, a larger measure Of centralized control and greater revenues from bond issues and taxation has been adopted. These subjects and many others of interest to students of current highway legislation, economics, taxation, progress, construction, maintenance and transportation are ably treated in the pages of this book by the best known highway authorities in the country. The Chairman Of the A. A. A. Good Roads Board believes that this book is a veritable storehouse of information on nearly every important phase of the subject of highway development and that it will, therefore, appeal to public speakers, legislators, college and high school students, newspaper and magazine writers, automobile and commercial Clubs, good roads associations, manufacturers of road building machinery and materials, contractors, public spirited citizens and above all motorists. The Good Roads Board of the A. A. A. Gratefully acknowledges its indebtedness to all those who have in a broadminded spirit of cooperation contributed their time and effort to make the 1922 edition of the Highways Green Book a success.

Download or read book Laboratory Manual of Bituminous Materials written by Prevost Hubbard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Bituminous Materials: For the Use of Students in Highway Engineering During the past five years a number of our leading universities have inaugurated courses in highway engineering in which laboratory instruction is given in the testing of bituminous materials. A general tendency appears to exist upon the part of many other educational institutions to develop the same line of activity because of the desire of highway engineers throughout the country to familiarize themselves with these materials. While numerous technical and scientific papers have been published upon this subject in more or less detail, no attempt has as yet been made to furnish the student in highway engineering with a complete laboratory manual. As the result of his experience since 1912 in laboratory instruction in bituminous materials given in the Graduate Course in Highway Engineering at Columbia University, the author has endeavored to prepare a manual which may perhaps fill a want both upon the part of instructors and students and also those highway engineers in charge of State, county, or municipal work who have, or expect to have, a laboratory at their disposal. The author fully realizes that no first attempt along this line is apt to meet the many-sided demand, and will welcome criticisms and suggestions from those who are sufficiently interested to make them. In the preparation of this manual no attempt has been made to trace down the obscure origin of many methods of testing which are described. The author has, however, endeavored to give credit in all cases where the originator is known, and if by chance any are unintentionally slighted, he takes this occasion to offer his sincere apologies. Many of the methods described are taken practically verbatim from U.S. Department of Agriculture Bulletin No.314, by Hubbard and Reeve.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Location, Construction, and Maintenance of Roads Highway engineers in all parts of the Country generously con tributed material and advice. Special attention was paid' to ascertaining reasons for unusual methods, in order to avoid the publication of anything useful only in restricted localities and possibly leading to trouble if tried generally. The purpose was to furnish information Of a national value rather than an expres sion of the views Of a few individuals, who inevitably have per sonal preferences and prejudices. As each section was finished it was submitted for criticism to engineers or chemists with special knowledge of the subjects discussed, and most of the chap ters formed by combining these revised sections were sent out to other engineers for further criticism. Some of the chapters were revised a number of times before they were finally ap proved. As a consequence, although my name appears as the author on the title page, the book is rather the product Of the cooperation Of over fifty Of the leading American highway engi neers and the patient and intelligent handling Of the details of the work by Miss Isabelle Stockett, at the time chief clerk Of the American Highway Association. This book appeared originally as Part II of the 1917 Good Roads Year Book. Its wide circulation, the many references to it in technical journals, and its use as a textbook by engineering colleges, indicating that the volume had won a distinct position in technical literature, led the Directors of the American High way Association to assign the copyright to the D. Van N ostrand Company, when the Association was dissolved a few days ago. By this action the results Of the cooperative labors of so many specialists will remain available to the public.
