Abstract:
LOW COST STABILIZED GRAVEL TYPE SURFACES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AS ONE APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF IMPROVEMENT OF SECONDARY ROADS. THE PROCESS CONSISTS IN BUILDING ON A GRADED ROAD A SURFACE COURSE OF A MIXTURE OF COARSE AGGREGATE, FINE AGGREGATE, SILT AND CLAY, PROPORTIONED FOR MAXIMUM STABILITY ACCORDING TO THE LATEST METHODS, AND TREATED WITH A DELIQUISCENT SALT TO PRESERVE THE STABILITY AND KEEP DOWN THE DUST BY MAINTAINING IT IN A DAMP CONDITION. THE REPORT DISCUSSES SPECIFICATIONS FOR MATERIALS AND MIXTURES AND DESCRIBES THE METHODS USED ON 300 MILES OF ROADS IN ONONDAGA COUNTY, NEW YORK. /AUTHOR/
