My Essential Question

How are different road surfaces chosen for certain roads and what are the pros and cons of each?

I have always found roads as something interesting and have always wanted to stop and watch every step of the process for a road being constructed. Finding the answer to this question will help show me why some roads are concrete, some are asphalt, gravel or even all the new synthetic materials that are on the market today. It will also provide me with some great insight into why engineers choose these certain compounds and what the processes are to create these extraordinary and complex paths of travel. This questions will keep me working hard because of my long past interest and fascination in roads and the machinery used to pave the highways and roads around us.

  1. Great topic-and one that will not only interest you but be beneficial for you. I suggest wording your EQ like, "How can I compare and contrast road surfaces and preparations?"
