"Specifications for Street Roadway Pavements" by Samuel Whinery is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a technical manual aimed at city engineers and municipal authorities, providing comprehensive guidelines for the design, construction, and inspection of street pavements. It covers a wide range of topics including various types of materials, methods of construction, and the roles of engineers and contractors within these projects. The beginning of the book presents a thorough preface that outlines the purpose of the manual and the significance of standardized specifications in the field of civil engineering, particularly for street paving. Whinery discusses recent advancements in paving technology since the original pamphlet was published in 1907, emphasizing the collaboration of professional organizations working towards more effective pavement standards. He also introduces the division of the work into specifications and practical instructions for inspectors, setting the stage for detailed discussions on the standards and practices that would be covered in the specifications to follow.
