TREATMENT OF LOW COST ROADS

A DISCUSSION OF BASIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF CRUSHED STONE OR GRAVEL ROADS IS FOLLOWED BY MORE DETAILED EXAMINATION OF TWO EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENTS STUDIED BY SOUTH CAROLINA OVER A THREE-YEAR SPAN: THE DOUBLE SURFACE TREATMENT (BUILDING A BITUMINOUS CARPET OVER AND IN BOND WITH THE TOP-SOIL ROAD SURFACE) AND MIXING TREATMENTS (SCARIFYING AND PULVERIZING THE ROAD SURFACE TO A SUFFICIENT DEPTH, THE ADDING THE BITUMINOUS MATERIAL IN SEVERAL APPLICATIONS WITH SLIGHT DISKING BETWEEN APPLICATIONS).
