DEFINITION OF ROAD TERMS
List of Technical Names Taken From
the Program of the Canadian
Good Roads Congress.

With the progress Of road building
there has come into use a number OF
terms more or less technical, but
which should be well known. The fol-
lowing list is from the program of the
Canadian Good Roads congress:
Aggregate.-The mineral material
such as sand, gravel, shells, Stag, or
broken stone, or combinations thereof,
with which the cement or the bitumin-
Gus material is mixed to form a NOR
tar or concrete. Fine aggregate may
be considered as the mineral inert ma
teriaI which will pass a one-fOurth-
inch screen, and coarse aggregate the
material which will not pass q one
fourth-inch screen.
Binder.-(1) A foreign or fine mate
rial introduced into the mineral por-
ton 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. CD The course, In a
sheet asphalt pavement, frequently
used between the concrete foundation
graded sand and asphalt cement.
ertia, friction, and Of the forces OF
adhesion and cohesion which helps the
separate particles composing a crust
or pavement to resist separation under
stress. Mechanical bond is the bond
produced almost wholly in a well-buiIt
broken-StOne macadam road, by the
interlocking Of angular fragments OF
stone and the subsequent filling Of the
remaining interstices with the finer
particles.
Water-Bound.-B Bonded 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 artificiaIly prepared caIcined
and ground mixtures of limestone and
silicious materials. Sometimes used to
designate bituminous binder used in
bituminous pavements, when the ex-
preston ''bituminous cement %. W
Is understood to be meant
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
placing.
Course.-One or more layers Of road
material spread and compacted sepa-
rately for the formation OF the road or
pavement. Courses are usually re-
ferred to In the order OF their laying,
as first course, second course, third
course, etc. Also a single row Of
blocks in a pavement.
CrOwn.-The rise In cross-section
from the lowest to the highest part of
the finished roadway. It may be ex-
pressed either as so many inches Cor
tenths OF foOt), Or as a rate per foot
Of distance from side to center, that
is, "the crown is four inches" or 'ithe
crown Is one-half inch to the foot"
