GOOD E3F
ROADS p
CONCRETE WINS IN
TEST OF MATERIALS

An interesting road experiment has
been conducted in Illinois for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the facts concern
ing the wearing quality Of different
road materials. This test road IL
known as the Bates experimental road.
It consists Of 68 sections Of pavement
each 1s feet wide and from 100 to $50
feet In length. They are laid end to
end 30 that they make 4 continuous
straight pavement two miles long.
twenty-five of these sections were Of
brick, II Of asphalt and "A Of con-
crete. In each type of pavement the
sections varied in thickness from those
30 thin that they were sure to break
under the lightest test loads to Sec
tons which were considered strong
enough to support successfully the
heaviest load permitted by the state
traffic law.
All of the materials for the pave
msnts were made to conform to the
high standard as required by state
specifications. and the spirit of the
whole test was to learn the facts
After this road had been constructed
army trucks made 23,2OO round trips
over them. Each truck was loaded
differently as the test progressed,
starting with the lightest load pos
sible for them, and gradually increas
ing the load until the greatest traffic
imposed upon any such was 81, ,460
tons. Over so per cent of this was
the legal load limit for four tons peS
rear wheel. After the test was COM
pleted 1t was found that the concrete
had stood the test best of any material
used. In fact, it was an overwhelming
victory for concrete pavement and this
can be better understood when 1t is
given in percentage. Only AZ per
cent Of the brick pavement sustained
this traffic without injury. Only liz
per cent of the asphalt sustained this
trafiic, whereas Al 2-8 per cent Of the
concrete sections satisfactorily sus-
tanned the entire test. The test will
be still further continued this spring,
and new sections of concrete have
been put down having the edges thick
er than the center. 1t will be interest
ing to note what the outcome of these
tests will BEE. B. House, Depart
