Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Management and Methods in Concrete Highway Construction The management Of production is increasingly a science. Effect unalterably and unavoidably follows cause. As a science, management endeavors not only to determine cause accurately and Specifically, but to determine it quantitatively, for it is only by so doing that effect can be accurately controlled. The output is low. This is an effect - the effect of a dozen causes, it may be. The causes may be accurately determined as poor Operation of the mixer, inadequate truck supply, slow loading of trucks, etc., but even then the control can only be haphazard. It is only when the superintendent knows exactly what percentage Of the working day is lost from each Of these and from any other causes affecting production that he is in a position definitely to deal with the production problem. On the other hand, it is unavoidably true that some methods are basically more efficient than others. Therefore the attainment of proper production at the lowest cost requires both the application of scientific manage ment and the use of what are basically the most efficient produc tion practices. It is for this reason that the discussion of the two is combined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pages : 112
Book Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Pages : 304
Book Description
This synthesis reviews the literature in the field of concrete materials, construction practices, and major application areas as applied to highway construction technology. It covers current and projected developments in materials including cements, aggregates, admixtures, fibers, and sealers. Topic areas covered include mix proportioning, batching and transport, placement, finishing, and curing. The applications included here focus on repair and reconstruction including full depth repairs, slab replacement, partial depth repairs, overlays, and recycling. Quality control of concrete including traditional approaches as well as new test methods and quality assurance schemes are discussed. The appendix describes the history of developments in concrete pavement construction in Europe.
