Particulars concerning mile of concrete road which author built 10 years ago in Cork, Ireland, which has had no repairs in meanwhile and still exhibits no defects; transverse steel reinforcement in roadway is laid with slight dip in center so that it is 2 1/2 in. from under surface in middle and 2 in. from upper surface at sides; when such road is laid at average temperature, no allowance for expansion is necessary, concrete being able, by elastic compression, to take up any expansion which may occur in warmer weather.
