The value of concrete as a road or street pavement material need not be discussed at length here. It is seen everywhere. Every state in the union, including Massachusetts, has concrete highways or streets, and many of them have adopted concrete to the exclusion of all other materials for the building of permanent roads and highways. Everyone likes to drive on concrete roads because of its smooth riding qualities, its non-skid surface, and its pleasing appearance. Roads built of concrete are never closed by inclement weather. They are quickly and economically built with local labor and materials, are kept in a sanitary and serviceable condition with a minimum of expense, and will last indefinitely. We cut concrete slabs and concrete walls and also core drill concrete in Avon. The concrete road shown was designed and built for light traffic, and the integral curb and gutter, described elsewhere in this book, was used. The use of the integral type of concrete curb and gutter shortens the span of the road slab, which is an advantage and permits the construction of the concrete curb first. This is later used in place of a side concrete form, from which the screed is operated to strike off the surface of the pavement. In using the separate curb it may either be built first and an offset screed used for the pavement, or it may be built after the concrete pavement has been laid. We cut concrete and asphalt streets and roads using diamond blades in Avon Massachusetts. The first-mentioned concrete cutting method is usually adopted. The concrete should be machine mixed to insure accuracy, and in the proportions of 1:2:4, being 1 part of portland cement, 2 parts of sand, and 4 parts of stone or gravel, graded in size from 1/4 inch to 2 inches. Use as little water as possible to obtain a workable mix. Three-eighths-inch expansion joints of asphalt or tar should be provided on each side of the concrete road slab, regardless of the type of curb. Transverse expansion joints should be installed every fifty feet and at the end of the day's work. Care must be taken to set these expansion joints at right angles to the road surface. These joints are usually made with the aid of an inch or 1/4 inch thick piece of steel shaped to concrete form to the cross-section of the road. This is held in place and plumbed by pins or stakes driven securely into the sub grade. On the side opposite to the pins the joint filler is placed. Concrete is deposited on both sides of this plate, which is then removed together with the pins, leaving the filler in place. The pavement shown is not reinforced, nor is it considered necessary for pavements subjected to light, traffic only. However, on work of this nature circumferential reinforcing, consisting of a single 5/8-inch steel rod, may well be used placed 2 inches down from the top of the slab, and located 4 inches in from the edges, both longitudinal and transverse of each concrete slab. The use of such reinforcement will effectually prevent cracking of the pavement at the edges, and especially at the corners. Integral curbs are usually doweled to the road slab with two-foot iron pins spaced four feet apart. This is done to prevent the widening of the joint and to prevent seepage. The surface should be finished with a wood float only, and should be cured by the use of two or three inches of earth kept wet for at least eighteen days. Using a concrete cutting saw and a diamond blade is done best while the concrete has not cured and is still green.
