Roman Road Summative Roman Building Methods Army Surveyors, also known as Agrimensores or “Land Measurers”, and engineers would look over the potential build location and started clearing the land for construction The Agrimensores used a special tool called a “Groma” (Picture #1) to measure and plan the line of the road. Its pole was planted into the ground. There were two wooden arms atop the pole perpendicular to each other, and the same length. A lead-weighted line hung from each end of the…

My dirt road has been a hindrance to my neighborhood which has caused more than enough trouble. I have wanted it paved ever since I could personally drive and when I witnessed the issues that the road caused. The county’s lack of cooperation has left the neighborhood frustrated and unsure of how to fix the problem. My community has struggled for years with the issue of paving Calhoun road, which has caused damage to both citizens and their vehicles forcing us to bear the burden of paying for…

On the way to the appointment, I was familiar with the Azusa area and it all seemed rather easy. Once I exited the freeway I traveled north and was unsure of where I was going because all of a sudden it turned into a one lane road into the San Gabriel Mountains. The road was winding and I could tell that I was climbing in elevation.…

many other factors contribute to this quality. When vehicles travel on the irregular roads, they are always subjected to excitation from braking, acceleration and inertial forces on a curved track, which causes discomfort to the driver. The excitation sources for these vibrations can be road roughness, wheel assembly, driveline excitation, engine excitation, aerodynamic forces and transmission excitation. Usually, road roughness will be the major source that excites the car body through wheel…

Winter tires placed on all four corners provide the traction and control you need when driving is treacherous. Tire chains go one step further, enabling your vehicle to grip packed-down snow and continue on your way. But when it comes to deep drifting snow, even a four-wheel drive vehicle is bound to get stuck. Until now, thanks to a revolutionary track system that punches through the most challenging drifts. Track N Go: Drifts Begone! The system we’re watching is Track N Go, developed by AD…

the construction roads and driveways, there are many everyday uses for asphalt, including the following: Used for Recreational Activities If you’ve gone to the playground, walked along community trails, or played tennis, you’ve benefited from asphalt. Asphalt is integral to creating recreational facilities and greenway projects that get the community active. With so many parks and greenways throughout Minnesota it makes sense to use asphalt since the mixture of stone, sand, gravel and cement.…

An Unforgettable Weekend at Raystown Lake Two years ago was my first ever cabin camping experience. Before that, I enjoyed staying at home and every once in a while I would take a hike with my father. I mainly felt that the outdoors was a place that I would only like to travel to on occasion, instead of being a place that drew me in. As a result of these prior thoughts, I became anxious at the thought of traveling to a campground nearby Raystown Lake. The week leading up to it, that’s all I…

I interviewed two (2) Broward County residents who are active bicycle riders. Their thoughts regarding Broward County’s sustainable transportation options to include transportation for bicycle riders follows; • Personal communication from Mr. Dan Braun who is a cyclist and user of Broward County parks: “Broward County parks are a great place to cycle. Sometimes it is a challenge as joggers, runners and walkers share the same sidewalk as the cyclists. Cycling is a good exercise for me and is a…

around six o’clock. I drove there so our traveling experience was not as exciting as it might have been if we had braved the bus. Traffic was a little heavier than I usually drive in, but that doesn’t take much for a girl has grown up driving on gravel roads. The directions to the Ronald McDonald house were fairly simple, but the house itself was tucked back a little farther. It wasn’t difficult to find, just it was not immediately apparent which building was the correct one. Once we found the…

these trails can have treacherous hazards like large trees, sharp rocks and steep cliffs such as Smith Ravine trail number 297, Salida Gulch Trail number 95, and the Constellation Trail System. Whereas, some of them are flat maintained pathways of gravel like the historic Iron King Trail. The Iron King Trail was forged on the weathered foundations of the railroad tracks for the Prescott & Eastern Railroad which used to provide service to the Iron King Mine. The trail is in the Town of Prescott…
