Triangle Mesh Wire Reinforced Concrete Pavements and Roadways (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from Triangle Mesh Wire Reinforced Concrete Pavements and Roadways

In presenting this booklet on Reinforced Concrete Pavements, it is our object to supply information on this new but rapidly increasing form of construction that will be of assistance to consulting engineers, con tractors, municipal authorities and taxpayers alike.

Although much has been said in engineering magazines, reports of committees, etc., about the advantages of concrete pavements over other types, up to the present time very little information has been published covering the use of a reinforcement which is the only sure preventive of cracks and most necessary to insure durability and wear.

We, therefore, in addition to reviewing the requirements of an ideal pavement and comparing concrete with other types, have collected data on methods and costs of the construction of existing reinforced concrete pavements and have made such recommendations covering the concrete mixture, thickness, finish, expansion joints, reinforcement, etc., as in our judgment, assisted by the results of actual construction, we believe to be the proper solution of the various problems involved. These recommendations are summarized on pages 81 to 86 in the form of a typical specification which may be used as a guide.
