At the time of writing, the methods used for testing were not standardized and varied widely between nations. The author presents a comprehensive overview of these methods, discusses their advantages and disadvantages, and proposes a generalized set of standards for testing road materials, applicable in any location where road construction takes place. Their work was some of the first to approach the problem of road material testing from a scientific perspective, and provides a practical framework for improving methods for selecting high-quality materials and ensuring their proper use in road construction and maintenance for many years to come.
