Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author explores the history, methods, and materials for creating and maintaining dustless and durable macadam roads. Macadam, a form of road construction developed by John McAdam, consists of layers of broken stones bound together with a binding agent. The author examines the impact of increasing automobile traffic on macadam roads and the need for dust prevention and durable surfaces. The book provides insight into various permanent dust preventives such as tars, oils, and sand, discussing their properties, application techniques, costs, and the relative merits of each. The author also explores temporary dust preventives, including water, salt solutions, and emulsions, and discusses the selection of dust preventives or binding materials based on factors such as cost, effectiveness, and local conditions. By understanding the principles and practices outlined in this book, readers can gain valuable knowledge for constructing and maintaining roads that are not only dustless but also durable and long-lasting.
