Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Location, Construction, and Maintenance of Roads In the summer of 1916, several State highway engineers reported to the American Highway Association that there was need of a concise explanation of the best current practice in locating, constructing and maintaining country roads, not combined with information about city pavements. It was found by these engineers that the information in many excellent engineering treatises proved confusing to rural road officials because they did not have sufficient technical knowledge to draw a line between what was applicable to country highways and what was restricted to urban conditions. Inquiry showed that such an outline of road-building would be welcomed by the road officials of other States, and the preparation of this book was accordingly begun. Highway engineers in all parts of the country generously contributed 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 expression of the views of a few individuals, who inevitably have personal 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 chapters 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 approved. 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 engineers and the patient and intelligent handling of the details of the work by Miss Isabelle Stockett, at the time chief clerk of the America 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 Highway Association to assign the copyright to the D. Van Nostrand 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Road Making: Construction and Maintenance of Roads The Romans built all of their roads in perfectly straight lines, up hill and down, at a very great expense, as being absolutely the shortest distance between two points. At a later period in history, it was argued that a road must be winding to be agreeable, and many were so built only for this reason. The modern road builder or engineer in general, ignores any such considerations, and has for his aim only to achieve the most, at the least present and future expense. As regards curves in roads in a hilly or mountainous district, we have then the rules never to make a smaller radius than 20 feet, and that only in extraordinary cases. On roads where long log ging or other wagons may be expected, the smallest radius ought to be 50 or 60 feet; and, in general, 40 - 45 feet is none too much.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pavements and Roads: Their Construction and Maintenance The science of paving and the need of proper maintenance of pavements is yet comparatively little understood in this country, and the same is true in even greater degree with regard to roads. The editor of the journal named was led to give the matter special attention by seeing what was done in europe, during his visits there, and finally began an investigation of work on streets and roads in England, France and other countries, the result of which was the gathering of a large and very valuable mass of information in regard to the subject. Of this everything likely to be of practical use in America was printed in T be Engineering and Building Record, and is given here in more convenient shape. With it appears a large quantity of matter from American sources, including the prize essays on Road Construction and Maintenance submitted in the competition instituted by the journal named in December, 1889. It will be seen that the great bulk of the book is made up of records of experience and statements of cost in different places. The comments are based on this experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Better Roads: Principles of Road Construction and Maintenance Work should As before mentioned, the roads of most travel be undertaken should receive first attention. It is impossible, on main roads and at present unnecessary, to improve all the first. Roads of a municipality at one time. Road build ing is a work that will continue for many years, but a proper start should be made somewhere, and it is only reasonable to expect that this should be made upon the roads used the most by the greatest number of the residents. A start might be made from the marketing points on the lines of railways in the different municipalities and the leading roads running into the country from these points selected for improvement. Care should be taken to see that the roads selected for improvement are so located that they will render the greatest service to the greatest number of residents, and be a lasting benefit to the whole municipality. They might be gravelled, or otherwise provided with a dressing of harder and more durable material than earth; but whether this is done at first or not, a municipality by providing good drainage facilities and construct ing suitable grades would be preparing the way for more per manent work in the future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Highway Construction: Designed as a d104-Book and Work of Reference for All Who May Be Engaged in the Location, Construction, or Maintenance of Roads, Streets, and Pavements Although volumes have been written on the subject of highway construction, still the matter is widely scattered through the pages of the standard works on engineering, technical journals and periodicals, in pamphlets and reports of city engineers, and is therefore not always easily accessible when wanted. The author, having found the need of a comprehensive and practical work of reference upon the many subjects connected with highways, has in the following pages endeavored to collate the varied mass of information. In doing so he has derived valuable assistance from the works of the authors mentioned below (which works may be profitably studied by those desiring further information upon the subjects treated of), and takes this method of acknowledging his indebtedness and thanks, instead of inclosing every extract in quotation-marks.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Roads and Pavements The object of this book is to give a discussion from the point of view of an engineer of the principles involved in the construction of country roads and of city pavements. The attempt has been made to show that the science of road making and maintenance is based upon well-established elementary principles, and that the art depends upon correct reasoning from the principles rather than in attempting to follow rules or methods of construction. In some cases practical experience has not yet determined the best method of procedure, and in these cases the conflicting views with the reasons for each are fully stated. Considerable space has been given to the economics and location of country roads and to the construction and maintenance of earth roads, since such roads constitute more than ninety-five percent of the mileage of the public highways and are greatly in need of careful consideration. It is frequently claimed by engineers that the public would be benefited by placing the care of the roads in the hands of engineers; but there is no evidence that any considerable number of engineers comprehend either the principles of road making necessary for the improvement and maintenance of our country roads, or the economic limitations and political difficulties of the problem. The first four chapters of this book are offered as a contribution to this phase of the good-road problem. The remainder of the book, the portion that considers roads having permanently hard surfaces, which may not unfittingly be said to relate to urban and suburban roads, is based chiefly upon American experience, because the principles of road making worked out in this country are probably best suited to American conditions, and also because in most particulars American roads and pavements are superior to any other in the world.
