SECONDARY ROAD SURFACING PROBLEMS IN IOWA

A TOTAL OF 3,095 MILES OF SECONDARY ROADS WERE NEWLY SURFACED. ANY TRULY ECONOMICAL SOLUTION OF THE SECONDARY ROAD SURFACING PROBLEM MUST BE BASED UPON THOROUGH FIELD AND LABORATORY STUDIES OF LOCAL CONDITIONS TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF SUCH FACTORS AS THE TYPE OF SUBGRADE SOIL AND ITS DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS, TO GUIDE IN THE PROPER SELECTION AND USE OF SUBGRADE SOILS AND STABILIZING MATERIALS, AND TO GIVE CONSIDERATION TO NEW PROCESSES AND METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION. /AUTHOR/
