Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book on Highway Engineering The science and art of highway engineering have, during the past decade, rapidly developed along various lines. Within recent years our foremost national engineering societies have manifested marked interest in this branch of engineering, not only through the medium of the presentation of papers, but also by the appointment of Special Committees; for instance, in the American Society of Civil Engineers, there is found a Special Committee on the "Use of Bituminous Materials in Road Construction;" in the American Society for Testing Materials, Special Committees on "Bituminous Materials," "Nomenclature of Bituminous Materials," and "Non-Bituminous Road Materials;" while in the American Society for Municipal Improvements and the Association for the Standardizing of Paving Specifications there are Committees on each of the various types of roads and pavements used in current practice. In addition to the Association Internationale Permanente des Congres de la Route the following national associations have been founded during recent years to promote the development of highway engineering and the construction and maintenance of "Good Roads": The National Highways Association, the American Road Builders Association, and the American Highways Association. The arrangement of the subject-matter given in this book is based largely on lectures that have been prepared by the authors for their various classes, both undergraduate and graduate, and up on their practice as highway engineers in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
