Abstract

The subject of this paper is the development of a new system of roadmaking depending upon the application of heat to the soil. It has been found that almost any soil is capable of being converted by heating, after suitable preparation, into a hard brick or stone-like material, and the system consists of the utilisation of this material instead of stone, gravel and sand in roadmaking and in the building of culverts and bridges.
