MAS highway system. The federal
bureau reports that only 125 per cent
Of California's highway concrete is
inferior.
California's concrete pavement is
practically all four inches thick. The
use of this thin slab, which came in
for so much condemnation in the first
report, made it possible to give large
part of the state good highway serv-
Ice at a reasonable cost. The design
was determined nearly ten years be-
fore the heavy traffic came, SO that,
measured by results the California
commissions work appears to have
been a success. Seventy per cent of
the defective pavement occurs on clay
and adobe soils, but large mileage of
the same thin pavement on these adj
verse soils still remains in good condi-
ton.
The bureau found the four-inch slab
inadequate (the commission itself has
abandoned it in favor of a five-inch
reinfaced concrete design) and adj
vtses that experimental sections be
made on the unfavorable soils. 1t
also finds that the three-eighths-in
carpet coat, famous in California, does
not give service commensurate with
it's cost.
OF interest in all parts Of the coun-
try Is the bureaus finding that there
is nothing presented by the entire
California study which indicates that
concrete is not successful pavement.
Simple. satisfactory methods for class
flying the conditions of concrete
roads have been, developed from this
study which will be found invaluable
In classifying roads in other states.
