Attrition Tests of Road-making Stones (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781145592520)

Attrition Tests of Road-making Stones details the methods and findings related to evaluating the durability of various stones used in road construction. Authored by John S. Flett, E J Lovegrove, and J Allen Howe, this work focuses on the mechanical testing processes designed to determine a stone's resistance to wear and tear under the stresses of traffic and environmental conditions. Understanding the attrition rates of road-making materials is crucial for ensuring the longevity and safety of roadways.

This book provides valuable insights into the techniques employed for assessing the quality and suitability of different types of stone, offering a historical perspective on the importance of material selection in civil engineering projects. It is an essential resource for engineers, geologists, and anyone involved in the construction and maintenance of roads.
