DISCUSSION OF REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF ROADS

THE FIELD OF RESEARCH OF THE COMMITTEE ON STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF ROADS EMBRACES ALL INVESTIGATIONS BEARING ON QUESTIONS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF PAVEMENT SURFACINGS AND IT HAS ALSO INCLUDED BRIDGE STRUCTURES. INFORMATION HAS ALSO BEEN MADE AVAILABLE ON SAND-CLAY ROAD INVESTIGATIONS, ON SPECIAL STRESS MEASUREMENTS IN CONCRETE PAVEMENTS, THE RESULTS OF SERVICE TEST ROADS, THE APPLICATION OF THE ELASTIC THEORY TO CONCRETE ROAD DESIGN, THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC, THE EFFECT OF REPEATED STRESSES ON CONCRETE AND ALSO ON SKEW ARCH INVESTIGATIONS.
