This report documents the construction of a Chemkrete modified asphaltic concrete field trial and presents three year performance data. Normal plant and roadway operations were maintained throughout the production of the Chemkrete modified mix. Initial binder testing, however, indicated the possibility of non-uniform blending of the Chemkrete addit

This report documents the construction of a Sprinkle Treatment field trial on a high speed/high volume roadway (55 mph/8520 ADT) and presents the performance data obtained for three years after construction. Normal plant and roadway production rates were maintained during the construction of the 3.1 mile Sprinkle Treatment section. Sprinkle chip sp

Two types of crewmember protective breathing equipment (PBE) were performance tested for compliance with Action Notice A-8150.2 at ground level (-1,300 feet) and 8,000 feet altitude. PBE #1 was a "hood with oral-nasal mask," which used potassium superoxide to remove carbon dioxide and produce its oxygen supply. PBE #2 was a "hood only," which conta

This report is an assessment of the impact that rail deregulation has had on the transportation of agricultural commodities. Specifically the Staggers Rail Act of 1980 is addressed in this report.
The Texas Type T202 concrete bridge rail is an extremely popular bridge rail in the state of Texas. The T202 rail consists of a concrete beam element 10 in. (25.4 cm) wide by 14 in. (35.6 cm) deep, mounted 27 in. (68.6 cm) high· on concrete posts located 10 ft (3 m) apart, center1 to-center spacing. The concrete posts are 7 in. (19 cm) thick by 5 f

Computer program FRAMES performs a nonlinear analysis of statically loaded plane made to existing frames using a discrete element model. Enhancements are an FORTRAN code using currently available hardware and software. The original code runs on a minicomputer with alphanumeric terminals, while the enhanced version runs improved interface that inclu

This report summarizes the corridor traffic management experiences at completed and ongoing construction projects nationwide. A corridor traffic management plan for a major freeway construction project has three components: (1) the traffic control plan for the construction zone, (2) impact mitigation actions on alternative routes and modes in the c

This study considers the relative benefit/cost for the provision of wide paved shoulders on rural two-lane highways. Cost elements considered were accidents, pavement edge maintenance, paved shoulder surface maintenance, and travel time. It is concluded that wide paved shoulders (6-10 feet wide) are cost beneficial for AADT's above 1,500 vehicles p

A number of States are beginning to use roughness measurements from the California and Rainhart profilographs for construction control of rigid pavements. A recent Texas study, Research Study 8-10-87-56, provided correlations between Present Serviceability Index (PSI) as obtained from profile measured by the Surface Dynamics Profilometer (SDP), and

State-trait anxiety scores were used prior to the 1981 strike of air traffic control specialists (ATCSs) to estimate perceived levels of job stress in field studies of this occupational group. The present study assessed the relationship between anxiety, as measured by the State-Trait Personality Inventory (STPI), and post-strike ATCS trainee succes

This study compared correlations between Office of Personnel Management (OPM) selection test scores for Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs) and scores from the FAA Academy's second-stage screening program with measures of field training performance. Field training performance measures were collected for 3,185 en route and 1,740 terminal ATCS de

This study was undertaken, on request, to evaluate the performance of the Puritan-Bennett portable crew protective breathing device for contaminant leaks. O2, CO2 levels, inhalation/exhalation pressure, and inhalation temperature. Tests were conducted in the facilities of the FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI) in Oklahoma City, OK, (test chambe

Los Angelization, the movement of people, jobs, residences and other activities away from the CBD, is being replicated across the nation. This modern phenomenon is diminishing the importance of traditional downtown and resulting in commuting economies and shrinking markets for conventional transit. This is a case study of the travel trends in the L

The article is the appendices of "Repeatability of testing procedures for resilient modulus and fatigue".Extensive use of diametral resilient modulus and fatigue testing is made by the Oregon State Highway Division to evaluate asphaltic concrete materials. Test results on similar materials (e.g., adjacent field cores), however, often indicate a poo

Extensive use of diametral resilient modulus and fatigue testing is made by the Oregon State Highway Division to evaluate asphaltic concrete materials. Test results on similar materials (e.g., adjacent field cores), however, often indicate a poor level of repeatability.In this study, laboratory fabricated briquettes were tested to evaluate the repe
