-BUILDING i FIRM FOUNDATION FOR ROADS # Aln %o Distribute Pressure Due to Wheels Concentrated on Sur- face—Look to Future. | @Prepared by the United States Depart- A ment of Agriculture.) / The purposes of a foundation are to afd in distributing the pressure due to wheel leads concentrated on the road surface, so that the intensity of pres- sure on the subgrade will not exceed a safe unit-bearing power, and also to prevent, if possible, the crust of the read from being disturbed by the up- Jard pressure of the subgrade due to Ae action of frost, ground wuter, or wther disturbing influence. In the case _8 pavement consisting of compara- ely small blocks, such as vitrified «brick, bonded to each other very slight- ly or not at all, an entire wheel load might be concentrated on only a few Sand-Clay Road. wguare inches of foundation, In which ease it would be necessary for the foundation to take care cf practically the entire dlstributien of the load. On the other hand, a monolithic pave- ment, in which the individual units are well bonded together, might distribute the wheel loads to obviate all necessity o«f further distribution by the founda- tion, and If adequate drainage were provided and there were no danger of heaving of subgrades, the foundation might be omitted entirely. The heavlest vehicle that ordinarily bas passed over a public highway heretofore is the 15-ton traction en- gine. Such engines are so designed that the rear axle carries about two- thirds of the total weight, which ar- rangement gives a concentrated pres- sure on the road surface of about five tons under each rear wheel. The use of much heavier equipment is in sight, however, and unless some regulations ” ssed to prohibit it, the occur- »ence of ten-ton, or even heavier mo- tertrucks. may become common on highways adjacent to large cities or between large centers that are only a few miles apart. In assuming the maximum wheel load for any particular road a reason- able allowance should be made for fu ture increase. Since motortrucks have come into use there has bheen a con stant tendency to increase both thelr rates of speed and the loads they carry, and it is probable that this tendency will eontinne.

Increase in the volume of traffic also may be an important factor START ROAD WORK IN SOUTH All States Now Actively Engaged in Improving Highways for Better Transportation. Road construction, which has been suspended or partly suspended In every part of the South since the United States entered the war, is re- suming in all southern states on a far greater scale than ever before in the history of that section of the coun try. In Virginla, West Virginia and Kentucky the work of making per- manent and new highways cannot get full swing during the winter season, buf extensive preparations are under way in these states for intense activ- ity in the spring. In the balance of the southern states where as good wok can be done in the winter as in the g»mmer, big staris have already been made. Great actlvity is reported in Loulslana and Mississippi.

During the war, as is well known, sabmarine sound-signaling made great strides. Tn Schiffbau an account is given of a device employed In Ger- many. In this device the receiver Is secured to the outer layer of the ship’s hull from inside and is filled with wa- ter, the liquild being in contact with the outer plating of the vessel. The essential point in this de- vice appears to be that the means for producing the sound are placed ex: ternally on the wall of the liquid tank, whereas in most cases the sounding de- vice has hitherto been arranged in- side the tank or receiver. Another special feature Is an automatic ar rangement for maintaining constant, or adjusting, the level of the water, which can be manipulated externally, —Scientific American. Wrong Kind of Clothes.
