Excerpt from Methods for the Determination of the Physical Properties of Road-Building Rock
Toughness is the property a rock should possess to successfully resist fracture under the impact Of traffic.
Binding power, or cementing value, as it is more frequently called, is the ability which the dust of a rock Should possess or develop by contact with water, so as to bind or cement the larger rock fragments together and prevent their displacement under the shearing action of traffic. This property is especially valuable in water-bound macadam construction, Since it is depended upon to maintain the integ rity of the Wearing course as the road surface is worn off by traffic.
