When the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) published An Assessment of Maritime Trade and Technology in October 1983, one of its principal findings was that because national interests were not defined and strategies for international negotiation had not been developed, there was at that time no generally accepted U.S. maritime cargo policy. The

From January through July, 1985, asphalt mixes from five construction projects, with and without an anti-stripping additive, were compared for stability. Ten mix samples for each project, at varying asphalt cement content, were prepared and tested in the Hveem stabilometer ("S" value). Both first and second compaction results were determined. A tab

The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation has funded research in the area of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) priority facilities for over a decade. Recently, major transit plans have been developed for the Dallas and Houston areas. Those plans considered, in addition to HOV facilities, various rail technologies. Similar analyses are n

Subsurface soil in the New Orleans area is generally composed of peat and clay. The low bearing capacity of the soft natural soil has caused early deterioration of asphaltic concrete pavements which typically fail prior to carrying their designed loads. Maintenance of the network of 1,500 miles of streets within the city limits has become a tremend

During the late fall of 1969 a study was made to determine the precision when testing asphalt concrete specimens for the Hveem stabilometer ("S") value (AASHTO T 246). Fifty samples, using Chevron 85-100 asphalt cement and aggregate from Walling Sand and Gravel (Salem Backtop), were prepared at each of five asphalt contents. The asphalt contents ra

A typical transit agency will have about twice as many vehicles in operation during the peak hours as at midday. The increased difficulty of obtaining transit subsidies in recent years has produced a corresponding increase in concern over operating efficiency and labor productivity. The use of part-time operators (PTOS) has emerged as one of the mo

As a measure of the aging of asphalt concrete mixes in the mixing and placement process, a formula was developed to determine the percentage of expected change in asphalt viscosity at the time of paving (Lund and Wilson, 1984). A value of 30 or higher was used in 1983-84 for acceptance on paving projects. At the conclusion of this study, a follow-u
