Sinopsis
Understand the forces that shape wagon and road performance, from axle friction to grade resistance, and how to reduce drag.
This edition explains the components of road resistance and how they affect the effort needed to move loads on different surfaces. It offers practical explanations, small‑scale formulas, and historical observations that connect theory to real‑world results.
- Axle friction: how lubrication, surface materials, speed, and temperature change the friction on axles.
- Rolling resistance: factors like wheel diameter, tire width, speed, springs, and road texture that influence effort.
- Impact of wheel size and road surface: why larger wheels can reduce resistance and how road design matters for wear.
- Historical and practical context: what experiments have shown and how they inform modern road planning and vehicle design.
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, practical look at early 20th‑century highway engineering and its enduring lessons for road performance.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a full guide to roadway engineering, providing essential details for the construction and maintenance of highways, streets, and pavements. First published in 1908, this book marked a turning point in the field of civil engineering, introducing foundational concepts that continue to be relevant today. It addresses factors that affect tractive force, including axle friction, rolling resistance, grade resistance, and the impact of road surfaces on tractive force. The author also dissects various types of road surfaces and their effect on maintenance and construction costs. The book further explores the impact of road conditions on economic and social development. By presenting comprehensive insights into the principles governing the planning, construction, and maintenance of roads and streets, this book continues to be an essential resource for civil engineers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the history and development of transportation infrastructure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332410248_0
