tar or concrete. Fine aggregate may
be considered as the mineral inert ma.
teral which will pass a one.fourth.
inch screen, and coarse aggregate the
material which will not pass II one
fourth-inch screen.
Binder.-C) A foreign or fine mate
rial introduced into the mineral por.
iion Of the wearing surface for the
purpose Of assisting the road material
to retain Its integrity under stress, as
well as, perhaps, to aid In its first
construction. (2) The course, in IL
sheet asphalt pavement, frequently
used between the concrete foundation
and the sheet asphalt mixture Of
graded sand and asphalt cement.
Bond.-The combined action of In
ertia, friction. and Of the forces Of
adhesion and cohesion which helps the
separate particles composing crust
or pavement to resist separation under
stress. Mechanical bond is the bond

lnterlocking of angular fragments of
stone and the subsequent filling OF the
remaining interstices with the finer
particles.
Water-Bound.-Bond with the aid
OF water.
Cement.-An adhesive substance
used for uniting particles Of other ma
terials to each other. Ordinarily ap-
piled only to calcined Cement rock"
or to artificially prepared calclned
and ground mixtures Of limestone and
sllicious materials. Sometimes used to
designate bituminous binder used In
tituminous pavements, when the ex-
preston "bitumlnous cement "a. W

Cement Concrete.-An intimate mix
ture OF gravel, shell, Stag or broken
stone particles with certain proper
lions Of sand or similar material, ce-
ment and water, made previous to

CrOwn.-The rise in cross-sectlOn
from the lowest to the highest part of
the finished roadway. 1t may be ex-
