Excerpt from A Text Book on Brick Pavements The author is an advocate of good, well constructed pavements. He believes that there is a place for all the standard paving materials, provided that skill and care are used in the design and construction. Greater attention to details and a more thorough understanding of the limitations as well as the strong points of each kind of pavement are essential items to good street or road surfaces. It is hoped that the present volume on Brick Pavements will prove of interest to municipal officers, commissioners and citizens in general as well as to city engineers, road engineers, county surveyors and paving contractors. For this reason many tables, formulae and other technical matter have been omitted as these would be dry read ing for the first class of readers and are available to the second class in numerous published handbooks for engineers. The author wishes to acknowledge the help and encouragement rendered by the Western Paving Brick Manufacturers Association in the preparation of this volume. They have undertaken its publica tion and distribution and otherwise aided in gathering the illustra tions and historical data. Their interest in the subject matter has been the presentation of methods of construction which will insure the best and most satisfactory use of brick material for pavements.

Excerpt from Durability of Brick Pavements All the above shows how indefinite it is to say that the crushing strength of brick is so much per square inch, and not give full details as to the manner of obtaining such results. The writer is decidedly of the opinion that as a test of the quality of brick or stone the crushing strength is practically worthless. Possibly there are those who believe that it is necessary to test the crushing strength to prevent brick which are so soft as to be crushed by the wheels of vehicles from getting into the pavement. Let us see if this is probable. The crushing strength of a cube cut from a good paving brick is, say, to pounds per square inch, and if the pressure is applied on only a portion of the upper surface the strength is about twice as much. The sur face of contact between a wheel having a 15-inch tire loaded with half a ton is roughly about one square inch, which gives a press ure on the brick of only pounds per square inch. Therefore there is no danger of the brick being crushed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Brick for Street Pavements: An Account of Tests Made on Bricks and Paving Blocks, With a Brief Discussion of Street Pavement and the Method of Constructing Them In this report the varieties are represented by the numbers above given, and the separate specimens by letters. Of Each variety, except Nos. 1 and 16, ten bricks or blocks were used in making the various tests. A number always indicates the same variety, but only when the number and letter are the same, does it mean the same brick. Thus No. 1 always means a granite block, yet No. 1 A and No. 1 E are differ ent blocks, but both Georgia granite.
