Street Grades and Cross-Sections in Asphalt and Cement
Certain rules and practices in street improvements have been formulated in the larger cities, which, although desirable, cannot always be applied to similar work in the smaller ones. The size, topography, and general local conditions of a city largely determine the character of the street grades and cross-sections, and their plan of arrangement. A slight departure from customary methods was made by the author in arranging the grades and cross-sections to be used in the recent construction of sheet-asphalt roadways and cement walks, curbs and gutters, in a part of the business district of Wabash, Ind., a small city, having a population of about 11 000. The old grades, as established, were poorly adapted for the proposed improvement, and a careful adjustment of those involved was prepared, with the object of having the finished work as substantial, convenient for use, and harmonious as the local circumstances would permit.
