Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses a critical concern for road engineers: the persistent problem of dust and its damaging effects on roads. The author, drawing from years of practical experience in the United States Office of Public Roads, delves into the causes of dust formation, from the chemical breakdown of road materials to the disruptive forces of wind and heavy traffic. A primary focus is the destructive impact of automobiles on roads, a relatively new phenomenon that has revolutionized road engineering. The book examines the scientific principles behind dust suppression and explores various methods of treating roads, from the temporary application of dust palliatives to the more permanent use of chemical road binders. It offers a detailed classification of these materials and discusses their properties, application, and effectiveness. The book culminates with a forward-looking perspective on the evolution of road construction, highlighting the need for durable solutions that can withstand the demands of increasing automobile traffic. This book serves as an invaluable resource for road engineers seeking to understand and address the challenges of maintaining safe and dust-free roads in a rapidly changing world.
