What reading level is Fundamentals of Construction And Maintenance of Secondary Type Highways book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On a flat subgrade or on one that has not been improved the trench may be formed by plowing the center of the road and moving the loose earth to each side by a grader. On an old road that has some crown, it is advisable to form shoulders by pulling the earth in from the side ditches with a grader. Following the completion of the trench, gravel may be placed as previously indicated.
Fig. 19. A poorly constructed gravel road.
Fig. 20. A good gravel road.
The gravel should be placed in layers of n...ot more than 4 to 6 inches in thickness with the larger pebbles and the coarse gravel confined to the bottom layer. The top layer should be well graded and should not contain any oversize pebbles. Each layer should be compacted separately. While it is not necessary to roll the gravel it is desirable if heavy traffic is to be turned on the road immediately after construction. Loose, dry gravel is objectionable to traffic and if the material is not well graded the large pebbles will work to the top.
