The proper method to employ in
constructing sand-clay road surface
depends on the conditions to be met.
In general, there are four distinct sets
of conditions, all of which may occur
In the same locality, or even on diff
ferent sections of the same road.
These are:
Case 1, where the original roadbed
is sandy and it is desired to construct
the surface by admixing clay;
Case 2, where the original roadbed
is composed of clay and it is desired
to construct the surface by admixing
sand;
Case 3, where IL is desired to con-
struct the surface of topsoil or other
natural sand-clay mixture without adj
mixing any of the roadbed material;
Case 4, where 1t is desired to supply
the clay and sand separately and mix
the two materials together in place to
form the surface.
Before discussing the different cases
separately, the general ends which all

Of the construction methods should
aim to attain will be summarized
briefly.
~ The questions Of location, de-
sign. drainage, grading, etc., are, If
anything, more important in the case
Of sand-clay roads than in the case Of
earth roads.
(2) The amount of clay contained in
finished sand-clay road surface
should be only slightly more than suf-
1cient to fill the voids in the sand.
Ordinarily about one part of clay to
two parts Of sand gives satisfactory
results, though the proper proportion
for any particular case can be deter
mined best by experiment.
(3) For average country-road traffic
and a stable roadbed, the depth of a
sand-clay surface should be about
eight inches after It Is compacted. If
clean sand and pure clay were used to
make the mixture, the respective
depths of the sand layer and the clay
layer required would be approximate
ly eight inches and four inches, meas
ured loose. 1t Is customary to decrease
the surface thickness from center to
sides, with a feather edge extending
out over the shoulders, but this prac-
tice makes 1t necessary for most OF
the traffic to use the center of the
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1918-01-10

can best be described separately for
each of the four sets of conditions
mentioned above.
Case Ito construct a sand-clay
surface by admixing clay with sand
from the rOadbed first grade the road
bed in the manner already described
for earth-bed construction, but keep
the crown flat on the portion to be
surfaced. Then spread clay over that
part of the roadway which the sur
face is to cover to such depth that,
when 1t is mixed with the sand of the
roadbed. a surface about eight inches
thick, after cOmpacting, will be OBJ
talned. The loose depth of clay neces-
sary to secure finished surface eight
inches thick usually will vary from
four inches to six inches, according TO
the amount of sand the clay contains.
After the clay has been spread, pillow
up sand from beneath in sufficient
quantity to make the net proportion
Of sand to clay about 2 to 1. Or1inari-
ly the pillow burrows should extend
down into the sand from four to six
inches, depending on the compactness
of the roadbed and the amount of sand
originally present in the clay. But
it Is better to have too little than too
much sand, because 1t is easier to add
sand from the roadbed than to haul
additional clay. Next harrow the sur
face with a disk harrow. Repeat the
operations of blowing and narrowing
until the sand and clay are mixed thor
oughly and uniformly. Thea shape up
the surface with a grading machine or
road drag and permit traffic upon 1t.
After the first soaking rain, plow and
harrow the surface again until the
surfacing material practically becomes
mud, after which shape up the surface
and keep It in shape by repeated drag
ging until 1t has dried out and is
thoroughly compacted. Watch the road
carefully for several months after 1t

is first constructed, to correct def
ciencies OF sand or clay and to keep
the surface in shape.
Case 2.-To construct sandy-ciay
road surface by admixlng sand with
clay from the roadbed, the process is
exactly similar to that described for
Case 1, except that sand is spread over
the graded rOadbed and clay is plOwed
up from beneath to mix with 1t. The
depth to which the sand should be
spread for an eight-inch finished sur
face usually varies from four to eight
inches according to the amount of
sand contained originally I'm the clay
Of the roadbed. The depth to which
the pillow burrows should extend down
into theSclay usually varies from about
three inches to about five inches, and
depends on the sand content of the
clay and the cOmpactness of the road
bed. 1t should be borne In mind that,
in this case, II is better to have a sur
plus of sand than surplus of clay
in the surface, because the former Is
more easily corrected.
Case 3.--Flgure illustrates the two
principal steps Involved in construct
ing a sand-clay surface with topsoil
or other natural sand-clay mixture.
The roadbed should be graded In the
usual way, except that the portion to
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1918-01-10

road, and heavy vehicles using the
edge Of the surface are liable to break
through the surfacing material.
(4) In constructing a sand-clay sur
face, the two constituent materials
should be thoroughly and intimately
mixed together In all cases. In max
ing artificial mixtures, therefore, much
blowing and narrowing are required.
(5) No matter what method is fol-
lowed In constructing a sand-clay sur
face, traffic usually must be depended
upon to puddle and compact the sur
facing material, and the road never
should be considered complete until
after 1t has been subjected to traffic
for a considerable period. During this
period the surface should be kept in
shape by repeated dragging, and If
necessary additional sand or clay
should be supplied at points which
show weakness owing to these ma
terials not having been mixed IN proper
proportions.
Other features Of the construction
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1918-01-10

be surfaced should be trenched out
with the grading machine to receive
the surfacing material. The surfacing
material should be spread to such a
depth that Il will be at least eight
inches thick at the center when COM
pacted.
Case 4.-Where II is necessary to
bring the sand and clay on the road
separately and mix them in place, the
method employed should be a combi-
nation of the methods already de-
scribed. That is, trench should be
formed with the grading machine to
receive the bottom layer Of material,
which may be either the sand or the
clay, and the top layer should then be
spread and the mixing done as de-
scribed I'm Case L or Case 2. The
depths of the respective layers should
be such as to secure a completed sur
face at least eight inches thick, and
the proportions should be fixed In the
manner already described IN discussing
the other cases.
