CONCRETE ROADS

Kept In Good Condition.
STUDY THE "AGGREGATE."
Local Deposits of Sand, Gravel and
Rock Form Important Part of High
way Be Careful In Purchasing Ce
ment Machine Mixing Best.
In -a way It is fortunate that the
United States has been rattier slow in
the matter o roadmaking. The roads
" can now be built of lasting materials,
such as will withstand the wear of .mo
tor traffic, which is, fast ruining Eu
rope's century old roadways. Lasting
road materials are everywhere present
in the form of sand and gravel from
pits and stream beds and crushed rock
from stone quarries. Combined with
cement into concrete, they form an In
expensive and permanent road surface,
which successfully resists the usually
destructive action of automobiles.
The first consideration In the build
ing of concrete roads is a careful study
of local deposits of sand, gravel and
rock known as the "aggregate" to
see whether they are suitable for con
crete. Sand must be clean and hard
and must grade uniformly in size of
grain from one-fourth inch down. The
same applies to gravel and crushed
rock, except that the largest particles
commonly allowable are one and one-
fourth inches in diameter, ir local ma
terials are usable a considerable sav
ing will be effected, as only cement will
need be freighted. - .
It is much faster and cheaper to mix
the concrete with a machine than by
hand. Depending on the grading of
CONCRETE BOAD.
the aggregate, the concrete is usually
proportioned one bag of cement to two
cubic feet of sand and four cubic feet
of screened gravel or crushed rock,
or one of cement to two of sand and
three of gravel or rock. Dnring the
grading and draining of the road the
"aggregate" Is hauled and piled at
convenient points. The concrete is
mixed musby wet. Is deposited to the
thickness of six inches upon the firm
old roadbed and is brought to grade
and shape by means of a templet. In
order to shed the water to the side
drains the surface of the concrete is
given a rise or crown in the center of
one one-hundredth to one seventy-fifth
the width of the roadway. The surface
la finished .with a wooden float and
wire broom, by which means there is
Jkraeff perTect' rooting ror Dorses. At
Intervals of twenty-five feet the road
is divided into sections by narrow con
traction joints extending crosswise the
road and entirely through the concrete.
The joints are formed by means of a
thin metal or wooden cross form or
divider, to which is tied a single or
double thickness of tar paper, with the
paper face against the last section of
roadway. After the surface of this sec
tion is finisbeM. and while the concrete
for the adjoining section is being plac
ed the cord holding the paper to the
cross form Is cut. and the cross form
is removed. The tar paper adheres to
the concrete and stays in the joint,
which is reduced to the thickness of
the paper.
When the surface of the concrete
has hardened enough to prevent pit
ting it is sprinkled with clean water
and is kept moist for several days.
Likewise, as soon as possible, the pave
ment is covered temporarily with two
inches of sand or dirt from the side
road to give farther aid in curing the
concrete. Traffic is confined to the
earthen side roads until the concrete is
about two weeks old. In the mean
time shoulders of broken stone or grav
el are built along both edges of the
pavement These are made three feet
wide and sufficiently thick to be firm
and to make it an easy matter at all
times for wagon wheels to pass from
the side road on to the pavement.
