Synopsis
This book, a collaboration between the University of Illinois and road officials of Champaign County in the 1920s, details an experiment to improve earth roads using a scientific engineering approach. Prior to this, road building, particularly earth road construction, was mostly guesswork and trial and error. The authors present a step-by-step guide to grading earth roads for optimal drainage and long-lasting wear, including aligning ditches, clearing the right of way, selecting optimal cross-sections, and the number of passes a grader should make to achieve the desired results. Their findings, based on detailed observations, measurements, and analysis, provide valuable insights into the science of earth road grading, making this book a valuable resource for road engineers and anyone interested in the history and science of road construction.
