Gravel Roads


Book Description

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.




Pothole Practices Guidebook: Proactive Prevention and Patching


Book Description

Even with best practices and standards, asphalt pavements will inevitably deteriorate due to traffic, environmental effects, and aging of materials. Preserving and extending their useful life requires a comprehensive preventive maintenance program and timely, effective, and efficient repairs. This easy-to-use guidebook provides an overview of how potholes form, pothole repair methods and materials, and preventive measures.
