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.

Reseña del editor
Columbia University, with a view to furnishing a text in which the fundamentals of the subject should not be buried in a mass of detail, such as is frequently found to be the case in works of a similar character. This book is, therefore, not a reference-work, but rather one in which it has been the endeavor to outline and emphasize those basic principles which are essential to good highways. Acknowledgment is here made for the assistance that has been obtained from the many excellent works on the subject, and from the Government andS tate reports. In a number of cases these have been quoted from quite freely. COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, A ugust, 1908.
