Excerpt from Highway Construction: A Practical Guide to Modern Methods of Roadbuilding and the Development of Better Ways of Communication Q] It is with the idea of giving a clear conception of the engineering problems involved in road building, that is, laying out of the road by the best and easiest route, the questions of grade, contour, and drainage, and the construction of culverts and bridges, that this treatise has been written. The author has had long experience in the field of highway construction and has treated the different types of roads in a very complete and practical manner. Natural soil, gravel, broken stone, bituminous macadam and concrete roads are all carefully treated, not only as to material, but as to the best methods of laying them. The city'pavements are also given due consideration, accompanied by typical specifications for the new surfaces developed for boulevards.
