• Abstract:

  Cracked windshields caused by loose aggregate on highway resurfacing projects has long been a problem, and many a driver has no doubt wondered vehemently why something couldn’t be done about it.But at last steps have been taken to alternate this necessary but irritating problem.
  District 23 in East Texas used expanded shale aggregate on farm to market road projects, with the results indicating that damage to car windshields of flying stone will be reduced.
