Suggested Improvement in Building Water-Bound Macadam Roads
In this era of vast road building throughout the country, it has seemed to the writer that there is too much variance in the specifications, especially in those for water-bound macadam roads, and this paper describes what is believed to be an improvement in such road construction. By way of explanation, it may be stated that water-bound roads are those in which the only binder is water, and this is used very plentifully in the process of building the road. There is no other foundation than the rolled earth; the standard depth of loose rock ordinarily used is 9 in., and when this has been thoroughly rolled, a theoretical depth of 6 in. of finished roadway is obtained.
