OILED ROADS FAIL
UNDER HEAVY TRAFFIC

AS matter of fact, a very small
proportion of the total area of oiled
macadam pavement constructed has
been successful. Under heavy traffic
it ruts and waves very badly 1t is
my opinion that, even under the best
conditions, this pavement has little
justification. Oil has more lubricat-
ing than binding properties, and its
introduction into a macadam pave
ment has tendency to destroy the
stability of the metal, writes an ex-
pert in the Engineering News. The
successful examples of pavements of
this class have been either in locali-
ties where climatic conditions are
such as to evaporate the more volatil,
parts of the oil, or where the appli-
cation has been made in such a man
ner as to achieve the same result.
Oiled macadam roads which have be-
come SO rutted as to be almost inn
passible, have been converted into
fairly good pavements by scarifying
and re-rolling, thereby aerating the
oiliand causing the evaporation of
shs fighter constituents.
For residence streets, Oakland,
Calf, is using exclusively some type
of oil-macadam. The oil-macadam
heretofore most generally Used con-
sists of the ordinary amount of mac
adam rock compacted and treated
\, u two applications of heavey road
oil, aggregating 11s gallons, to the
square yard. The amount of Oil is
sufficient to produce an oil1bound
surface of about 8 inches in depth.
This type of pavement requires care
fui workmanship, particularly in the
matter of securing a pavement firm
enough to carry heavy loads and at
the same time sufficiently porous to
admit the oil. With the widely dit
fering character of the stone in COM
mon use, the daily changing wealth
er conditions and the disagreement
among experts as to the proper meth
cd of building oil-macadam streets,
this attempt to build a two-course
macadam in one operation has been
a serious problem. Results have gen.
orally been good. in many cases Ideal,
