BITUMINOUS BRIDGE COVERING AND PACKING LAYERS ON CONCRETE

COMMON FAULTS IN BITUMINOUS CONSTRUCTIONS ARE DISCUSSED, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BUBBLE FORMATION DUE TO MINERAL OIL AND WATER VAPOR. THE CHARACTERISTICS AND PREPARATION OF THREE TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION ARE DESCRIBED, IN WHICH THE TOP AND PROTECTIVE LAYERS ARE OF CAST ASPHALT OR FINE ASPHALT CONCRETE, THE PACKING OF ASPHALT CEMENT OR CORRUGATED METAL, AND THE SEPARATING LAYER BETWEEN THE BITUMINOUS CONSTRUCTION AND THE BRIDGE OF GLASS WOOL, OR OTHER SUITABLE MATERIAL. IN ADDITION TO THE NORMAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, THE USE OF RUBBER, ASBESTOS AND SYNTHETIC RESIN IS DISCUSSED. LABORATORY TESTS AND PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS ON IMPERVIOUSNESS TO WATER ARE DESCRIBED. /AUTHOR/
