Experimental animal subjects are used most commonly to assess the toxicity ofthermal decomposition products (smoke) from burning materials. Nascent smoke isobviously quite hot; therefore, the design of smoke toxicity assay systems mustprovide for adequate cooling of the gases prior to exposure of the animals. Thisresearch has addressed the question

Structural applications of concrete containing fly ash have been limited mainly to high strength concrete in the past. This trend is primarily due to the lack of information available to the resident engineer concerning curing conditions, setting times, strength characteristics and durability of normal strength fly ash concrete. This study addresse

Standard thermoplastic traffic marking stripe was compared with 3M "STAMARK" Brand 5730 plastic marking tape. Both products were placed on two new PCC pavement projects and evaluated over two years. The "STAMARK" was found to be more expensive, easier to place, just as durable, but less reflective at night than standard thermoplastic stripe.
