road surface for light traffic. Material
of this kind is drained easily and is
fairly stable, even when wet Another
advantage is that Ii will not become
very dusty under traffic In drs weather
and frequently will cement together
into q very hard, compact surface.
Roads surfaced with such material are
commonly called "topsoil" roads, be-
cause the topsoil of cultivated fields
possesses the desired characteristics
more frequently than That to be OBJ
tanned from any other source.
Gravel.
Gravel is made up of small rounded
particles of stone, which occur in ma
ture and are sufficiently large to be
retained on a observation-disclosures
screen. Gravelly soils are distributed
widely in the United States, and vary
widely in quality. In general, when a
soil contains as much as 40 to so per
cent of gravel and sufficient clay or
other cementing material to bond the
gravel particles together, it proves
very satisfactory material for con-
struction of roads, because it is drained
easily and is very stable when COM
pacted.
Mari.
Mari is clay containing q relatively
large percentage of carbonate of lime
1t grades into calcareous clay and ar
gillaceous limestone, and its value for
road building is variable. In general
this material has few advantages over
the best varieties of ordinary clay for
use in constructing a road, unless the
percentage of lime carbonate is suffi-
GENTLY high to give it, when compacted,
approximately the character of lime
stone. The best varieties of mari be-
come very hard and compact when
placed in road surface, and in some
localities this material is used extern
sively for road surfacing.
Gumbo.
Gumbo is essentially loan contain
ing high percentage each of clay and
decayed vegetable matter and a very
low percentage of sand Gumbo has a
strong tendency to absorb and hold wa
ter, and therefore is hard to drain. 1t
is harder to handle in a road surface
than clay, because the vegetable matter
is an added weakness, but if protected
from surface water by a proper sys-
tenn of drainage, it may be used to con-
struct fair subgrade for supporting
some type Of impervious road crust.
Gumbo has a relatively high capillary
power, and for this reason its occur
renee in roadbed usually will necessi-
tate the use of subdrainage, even under
conditions favorable for surface drain
age.
