MIX CONCRETE AND OIL
q. 8. Road Experts Find Absorption of
Moisture Is Thus Avoided.

Washington, Aug. 7.-"Concrete as
a road building material is of per-
haps more universal adoption than
any other material now in use,'' said
Director Logan Walter Page, of the
office of public roads of the United
States department of agriculture, to-
day. - -7 Ns
Concrete. as sized up by the depart
ment, has the following advantages:
1. Durability under ordinary condi-
tons

slippery. .- ------

necessary.
Its disadvantages are as follows:
1. Noisy under horse traffic. ..t--
2. Difficult to repair.
!. Cracks must be given prompt at
tentlon or deterioration will ensue.
Made Extensive Experiments. RS
Improved concrete for road building
as well as for other purposes, that is
proof against water absorption. has
been announced by. the department in
oil-mixed concrete. p -
After extensive. experiments with a
view to producing . non-absorbent
concrete mixture, the department
found that the addition of 10 per cent
OF heavy mineral oil to the Portland
cement paste acted as an effective re-
pellant to moisture. The suscepti-
pillty OF concrete to water absorption
hao long been recognized as one of its
inherent weaknesses as a road-build-
ing material.
The addition of the oil does not
lower the tensile strength, the de-
partment has found, and has the fur
ther advantage of making the mixture
lmpervious to the destructive action of
alkali salts. -
