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 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.

Download or read book A Treatise on Roads and Pavements (Classic Reprint) written by Ira Osborn Baker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Roads and Pavements The problems involved in the construction and maintenance Of rural highways differ materially from those which are encountered in the improvement and care Of city streets, and therefore this discussion Of the subject Of Roads and Pavements will be divided into Part I, Country Roads, and Part II, City Pavements. In each division Of the subject certain general principles will first be considered, and the further discussion will be divided according to the several materials in use for road surfaces. It will not always be possible to keep the several portions entirely distinct, but a knowledge Of the intention in this respect will make it easier to understand the method Of presentation or to turn readily to the discussion Of any particular phase Of the subject. The classification Of road surfaces into country Roads and City Pavements is partly according to the most general use Of each, and partly according to the elaborateness Of the construction. According to the somewhat loose classification here adopted road surfaces for country roads consist Of two parts, subgrade and wearing coat; while city pavements consist Of four parts, sub grade, foundation, a binder or cushion course, and a wearing coat.

Book Synopsis Concrete Roads and Pavements (Classic Reprint) by : E. S. Hanson
Download or read book Concrete Roads and Pavements (Classic Reprint) written by E. S. Hanson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete Roads and Pavements The first edition of this book came out just a year ago and was so well received that the first printing was sold before all the books came from the bindery. A second printing, with a few slight changes and corrections, was then put on the press and has been sold out some time ago. Hence the writer has been led to believe that there is a large demand for information on the subject of concrete roads and pavements, and he has therefore derived considerable enjoyment from the preparation of the present complete revision of the book, in the hope that by this means he may be able to add a small part to the betterment of this rapidly developing branch of the concrete industry. The book has been expanded from thirteen chapters in the original volume to twenty chapters in this revision, and from 227 pages to 338 pages. Entire new subjects have been introduced in this volume, such as Chapter XIX on the promotion of concrete roadways. Then, too, some topics which were merely given a paragraph in the original edition are now expanded into chapters. In each case it may be said, also, that the work has been brought completely down to date and that such advances in practice as have been developed during the past year are included in this volume. The book is, in large part, frankly a compilation, and the effort has been to collect into convenient handbook size everything of value which is so far known on the subject.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis A Text Book on Brick Pavements (Classic Reprint) by : Clark R. M.
Download or read book A Text Book on Brick Pavements (Classic Reprint) written by Clark R. M. and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text Book on Brick Pavements The author is an advocate of good, well constructed pavements. He believes that there is a place for all the standard paving materials, provided that skill and care are used in the design and construction. Greater attention to details and a more thorough understanding of the limitations as well as the strong points of each kind of pavement are essential items to good street or road surfaces. It is hoped that the present volume on Brick Pavements will prove of interest to municipal officers, commissioners and citizens in general as well as to city engineers, road engineers, county surveyors and paving contractors. For this reason many tables, formulae and other technical matter have been omitted as these would be dry read ing for the first class of readers and are available to the second class in numerous published handbooks for engineers. The author wishes to acknowledge the help and encouragement rendered by the Western Paving Brick Manufacturers Association in the preparation of this volume. They have undertaken its publica tion and distribution and otherwise aided in gathering the illustra tions and historical data. Their interest in the subject matter has been the presentation of methods of construction which will insure the best and most satisfactory use of brick material for pavements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Asphalt Construction for Pavements and Highways: A Pocketbook for Engineers, Contractors and Inspectors The increase in recent years in the amount of sheet asphalt pavement which is being laid in our cities and the extent of the asphaltic concrete and asphaltic broken stone surfaces which are being constructed on our country highways to resist the destructive action of motor ve hicles, has created a demand for highway engineers, con tractors, and inspectors, who are skilled in this work, far in excess of the supply. The result has been that many have entered these fields who do not realize the im portance of careful attention to details which is necessary to insure complete success in this line of work. With a view to supplying the necessary information in regard to these details to the persons who have been mentioned, this pocket-book has been prepared with the hope that it will do something toward insuring better work in the future than has been done in some cases during recent years by inexperienced contractors and engineers, and supervised by inexperienced inspectors. Its form has been selected in order that it may be readily carried in the coat pocket, for reference on all occasions, something that cannot well be done with a larger book with stiff covers.
