Several architects studied its use there before deciding to use it at A&M, he said. There may be several reasons for the cracked epoxy sidewalks at vari ous locations on campus, Ray said. “The gravel is metered out by per centage weight — X pounds of epoxy to X pounds of rock, ” he said. “Incor rect metering may account for weak areas,” Ray said. Perhaps the cracks occur where there was an interruption in con struction he said. Workers are trying to correct this problem by using redwood construction joints as they lay each section of concrete. “Much of the concrete was laid during warm weather,” Ray said. “The cold, dry weather has since caused it to crack. ” Some shifting of the trees may also cause cracking. “The tree roots may pop up the material laid thinly around the base of the tree, ” he said. However, the majority of the trees are mature and show no rapid growth. The epoxy concrete is not in tended for the weight of heavy vehi cles, Ray said. “It is designed for pedestrians and perhaps bicycles and light service vehicles, ” he said. Although it is relatively new, four of the six contractors on campus have this type of concrete, Ray said. Be cause different contractors do diffe rent areas, not all of the concrete may look the same, he said. The concrete was developed by the Prairie Co., of Urbana, Ill. Out door Living, a branch of the Prairie Co., located in Fort Worth, supplies A&M contractors with the epoxy material. The gravel is bought in Cleveland, Tex.
